In an attempt to try new varieties of tulip this year, I ordered several tulip mixes. One mix featured ‘Renown Unique’ and ‘Glamour Unique’ tulips. The ‘Glamour Unique’ tulips are the very interesting yellow flowers that are featured in this post.
‘Glamour Unique’ tulips have many of the same excellent growth habits as their same-named pink/red counterpart. This yellow tulip is extremely late blooming. In fact, it was one of the very last varieties in my garden to begin opening. Plants also grow very, very tall. By the time the buds started to open, many of them had started to bend and sway in the breeze.
Have you ever grown ‘Glamour Unique’ tulips before? What did you think? I’d love to hear all about your experiences in the comment section below. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!
Beautiful.
I grew these and loved the long stems. I found it hard to tell when they were ready to be harvested, though. If there was just the slightest “hardness” in some of the petals when I picked one, it didn’t seem to want to open quite right. I find that issue with my parrots too. I just can’t get the timing down. Then if I wait longer they’ve opened more than I would like! Elusive and touchy little things. Everyone seemed to love them though. I too am in Kentucky. @tuliplaneflowerfarm
