Botanical Name

Tulipa 'Greenland'

Commonly known as Greenland Tulip

Tulipa 'Greenland' (Greenland Tulip)
Bulb

Viridiflora tulip with rose-pink petals brushed by a wide green flame. One of the longest-lasting tulips in the vase and the bed.

Toxic to cats

The bulbs are the dangerous part for cats and dogs, and they hold far more of the toxin than the flower does. A pet that digs up a newly planted bed is the usual way this happens. Vomiting and drooling are the common signs; plant where a dog does not dig and keep spare bulbs stored away.
