    This tulip doesn't seem to be widely available to home gardeners through mail order sources, so the ones that are available obviously get scooped up early and quickly.

    'Mystic van Eijk' was introduced in 2009. It's puzzling that, as something fairly new, it isn't sold through a lot of mail order sources. Of course, if and when I see it available, I'll add it right away to my order.

    A beautiful pink tulip for the garden and one that I'd love to grow. I finally got a few bulbs of it Fall 2014 and they're about to bloom and a little later than the other Darwin Hybrids

    'Mystic van Eijk' is a sport of 'Van Eijk,' so you know it's a good one.
