If you are like me and have trouble waiting for the snow to melt and the flower bulbs to begin poking their heads up then this is the one for you.  The Apricot Beauty, Tulipa single early 'Apricot Beauty', is a fall bulb that will start your garden out in early spring with fragrant light peach colored flowers.  If you are not familiar with Single Early Tulips, they are very hardy from zones 3-8.  They flourish on 10-12 inch stems and have one flower with 6 petals.  They are a great addition to any area of your landscape.  These would be great to be planted in front of other bulbs that will begin growing after these have begun their flowering.

Peach is a color you rarely see in bulb gardens.  I think it would be quite pretty next to the purple of grape hyacinths or yellow daffodils especially.  While I'm not one to show off, I wouldn't mind having the neighbors asking me where I got such beautiful tulips.  Maybe I could start a new trend!  I'm looking forward to their early blooming so I can finally know that spring has sprung!
