Species Tulips

In inland Australia wild tulips don’t need to be lifted each year provided they have a cold winter and dry summer climate. I plant them 15 cm deep in well drained soil with a handful of lime added to each square metre. If your soil isn’t acid like mine obviously you don’t need to add lime.

Tulipa humilis ‘Little Star’

One of the gems of the race, Tulipa humilis hails from the area where Turkey, Iraq and Iran meet. It grows very near the snowline and so needs to be kept moist in the spring until its foliage dies down otherwise it holds no terrors.
