Even the plant itself stands to attention, with its sword-shaped grey-green leaves pointing straight up to salute the bloom of the Tulip 'Flaming Flag'. The bloom commands that attention with its neat cup-shaped ivory blooms feather-painted with shades of pale to deep lavender and lilac. The stylish brush-strokes make this Tulip carry its own against other single-coloured Tulips in the same bed or border, but it is best to plant the flags in groups. Tulip Flag can be grown and flown in pots or containers and cut for striking displays in vases. It is also suitable for forcing.
