Planted Akebono last fall. Bloomed this spring. I have to say the ruffled, full flowers are so pretty they stop me in my tracks. My neighbors flipped over how beautiful this tulip was. Lasted a long time in bloom also, which is always a plus. I don't know whether Akebono will return for me or be a one-shot deal, so I have bought more bulbs and will be planting it again this fall.

Unusual and striking flowers, 'Akebono' means dawn or daybreak on Japanese. No wonder these soft pale yellow semi-double flowers outlined in thin red edges are my neighbor's favorite tulips.
Darwin tulip 'Akebono' blooms for about two weeks each spring here in my garden. Now that I have discovered them, I never want to be without 'Akebono' again.
