Tulipa clusiana | Lady Tulip

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Tulipa clusiana sends up slender, gray-green leaves and elegant flowers that respond to light, opening wide on sunny days and closing again in evening or cloud. The outer petals show rosy red with pale edging, while the interior is creamy white with a small, darker basal mark, creating a clean two-tone effect.

A species tulip, it bears pointed, bowl-shaped blooms that become star-shaped as they open, flowering in early to mid-spring. Native from northern Iraq and Iran east to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the western Himalaya, it suits rock gardens, gravel borders, and naturalized drifts where bulbs can multiply, and it also performs well in containers and along paths.
