Botanical Name

Tulipa 'Mariette'

Commonly known as Mariette Tulip

Tulipa 'Mariette' (Mariette Tulip)
Bulb

Lily-flowered tulip with elegant pointed petals in clear satin pink. One of the most graceful tulips for bouquets and the late-spring border.

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.
