Description

Pure white petals with an intense violet-blue heart that makes passersby pause. Small, elegant, and blooming in March already. Like an alpine flower that rarely appears.

This is a botanical tulip, related to wild forms from Central Asia. A small cultivar at 15 to 25 centimetres. She returns by herself each year. The violet-blue heart is rare. Bulb trader Van Tubergen found this plant in western Iran a century ago. She does well in rock gardens, pots and borders. Plant her in groups. Watch the sun: no intense midday heat, as the leaf shrivels. Plant her in a cool, part-shaded spot. She pairs beautifully with Chionodoxa, woodland anemones, or low alpine plants. Scented.

The Rare One. What stayed rare for centuries now spreads freely in your garden.

The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.

We offer our 100% Bloeigarantie. If nothing comes up, send us a message. You will get new bulbs, or your money back.

Where this flower shines.

Good for bees and butterflies

Full of nectar and pollen, so bees and butterflies find your garden effortlessly.

Comes back every year

Once planted it spreads on its own and comes back stronger year after year.

Long lasting in the vase

Stays fresh for days in the vase, so your bouquet lasts longer than usual.

In pots and on the balcony too

Does very well in a pot, so even with just a balcony or terrace you enjoy it fully.

Little work

Plant and leave; it needs hardly any attention and does the rest by itself.

So many places

Questions about this tulip.

Plant this tulip in Jan, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. As long as the ground is not frozen, there is still time.
Rule of thumb: plant a bulb two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. The exact depth and spacing for this variety are on the planting card attached to the bag and in the planting guide we send along.
Fully grown, this tulip reaches about 15-25 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.
Yes, but not every tulip equally strongly. Botanical tulips and Darwin hybrids come back for years; large-flowered tulips are at their best in the first year.
We offer 100% Bloeigarantie. Send us a message and we will send you new bulbs, or refund you in full.
Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
