    'Sensual Touch' is a relatively new tulip on the market.and what an exciting tulip it is! 'Sensual Touch' is both a fringed tulip and a peony-flowered tulip. It's like getting two beautiful tulips for the price of one.
    A fascinating and unforgettable tulip. A "must have" for the spring garden.
