The Grand Perfection tulip is a modern tulip variety created to resemble the famous ‘Broken Tulips’ of the 17th century, named after the Golden Age painter, Rembrandt van Rijn. The original ‘Broken Tulips’ were victim to a virus that weakened the flower and caused the beautiful colour breakages, a virus spread by aphids, almost all of which are now extinct. The red and white colouration of the Grand Perfection is similar to the most famous tulip in history, Semper Augustus.
