Wild Woodland Tulip
Illuminate your mid to late spring garden with the Wild Woodland Tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), an heirloom Botanical Tulip cultivated for centuries. This variety showcases luminous yellow flowers rising above burgundy stems and offers a sweet, lemony fragrance. Vigorous and long-lived, these tulips are excellent for naturalizing in grassy areas. As original heirloom flowers, they are reliably hardy, deer resistant, and perennial, returning each spring. Plant these bulbs in the fall for early season beauty in sunny, well-draining sites, rock gardens, or containers.
