In honour of the 425th anniversary of the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, this pink, multi-flowered, low tulip was named in 2015. Although he was not the first to introduce the tulip to the Netherlands, Carolus Clusius, the first prefect of the Hortus (1594-1609), is largely credited with bringing the first large tulip collections to the Netherlands. Cerise-pink flowers with a white centre.
