    You won't believe your eyes when you see 'Pittsburg' blooming. It magically changes as it matures. Starts out as a silvery purple and deepens to a magenta-red and purple color with a white base. You could have tulips blooming with different colors and all be the same variety. A stunning display in the garden. A sight to see.
