I barely turned my back before tulip ‘American Dream’ was involuntarily deadheaded by the evil creatures in my backyard. Whatever lopped them off actually took a few bites of the petals this time. That’s new. I’m starting to think rabbits have joined the squirrels in this fun little game.
‘American Dream’ is a Darwin tulip that grows 20 to 22 inches tall with creamy yellow flowers that are edged in glowing red. Darwin tulips can thrive in sun or part-shade. ‘American Dream’ blooms later in the tulip season.
