Description
A native of Crete, it created a sensation in Holland when it was first grown there, centuries ago. Like other species tulips, Lilac Wonder is very small, with jewel-toned colors..and what colors! This one gleams in luscious light pink to lavender with a stunning butter yellow center. Like the others, it is dependably perennial and very useful for early color in a rock garden, in the front of a border, meadow, or any spot where its brilliant beauty can be appreciated. Lilac Wonder is one of the most popular species bulbs, and is a leader in the popularity the species group is gaining. As with the others, the bulbs are small, so planting takes just minutes. And you'll enjoy these little beauties during early spring every year from the day you plant them.
The Wild Tulips: There are about 150 species of tulips that occur in the wild from Central Asia all the way to Spain and Portugal. Most are native to rocky, arid regions east of Europe. It is hard to believe that these little flowers, more the size of crocus, are the original forms of the big flashy hybridized tulips we all know and love. But to any wildflower gardener who looks close, the brilliant colors and even the petal shapes and other characteristics are there. (By the way, all the species bulbs we sell are produced in Holland, so they are never gathered in the wild in their native lands.) They are all really botanical heirlooms in the truest sense, and deserve a place in every wild garden.

4 sprouted. No blooms
"I followed instructions. Four bulbs sprouted very early in the season, but none developed blooms 🙁"
These bloomed beautifully!
"These came up perfectly after planting last fall. I plan on getting more this year. They make a lovely early edition to our garden. They have been pest resistant and have stood tall after several rains."
cute flowers!
"I thought these would bloom at a different time from my daffodils but they bloomed at basically the same time. I was hoping for more of a staggered blooming :)"
Great Performing Flower
"All of the tulips came up beautifully and all have bloomed. They are sturdy as I have them planted in a windy spot. Now it's only a matter of time to see if they will naturalize well for next year. #sweepstakes"
Total Fail
"Not one single bulb came up this spring. Planting directions were followed correctly."
I keep adding more. . .
"I've tucked clumps here and there among the other spring bulbs. Its just so sweet and cheerful!"
Beautiful & Healthy Blooms!
"I planted these Lilac Wonder Wild Tulip bulbs last fall and they all took root and are now blooming happily in my garden. It is almost the end of April and they started blooming about a week ago - I am in NJ, zone 7B. In the product description it was mentioned that these bulbs multiply/naturalize. . . I am looking forward to that! I love these and very happy that I decided to get them."
These are great!
"Great!"
The tulips that bloomed are lovely.
"Some got eaten by deer/squirrels."
Love these Unique tulips!
"These tulips were in bloom the last few weeks and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the blooms open and close every day to display beautiful and soft colors. I wish these were in bloom forever!"
