Additional Information

Species Tulips

The original wild tulips from the center of tulip diversity in central Asia, and their cultivars which still have a “wild” look. Our stock is nursery-propagated from commercial sources and is not collected in the wild. Once established with good drainage, these tend to perennialize (or naturalize) unlike many of the big hybrid tulips. Most species tulips are not tall, showy or formal, but they have their own halfling charms.
