Description

Native to the rugged and rocky mountains of Crete, 'Hilde' Wild Tulip (Tulipa cretica) is a dainty bloom with a tough habit and lasting power. A good naturalizer, each bulb will form its own clump, looking especially attractive dotted throughout the lawn or in the partial shade under deciduous trees.
Wildflower Tulips, also called Species Tulips or Botanical Tulips, are the original heirloom flowers used to hybridize and develop the hundreds of Tulip varieties available today. Blooming in early spring, their petite flowers feature brilliant jewel-tone colors. Wildflower Tulips are reliably hardy, deer resistant, and perennial, returning every spring and naturalizing over time. Plant bulbs in fall, in flowerpots, in the front of the garden, or in a large swath in your lawn, where their early season beauty can be appreciated. Many varieties are native to arid regions, so they are good for dry, sunny, well-draining sites, including rock gardens. After flowering is done, allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulbs for next season’s blooms.
