Species tulips often have more natural-looking blooms than their hybrid relatives. Tulipa tarda bears an abundance of star-shaped, white flowers with yellow centres. Easy to grow, it enjoys a sunny position in well-drained soil. It's perfect for growing in rock gardens and gravel gardens, and works well in spring container displays.
Grow Tulipa tarda in well-drained soil in full sun. Allow foliage to die down fully after flowering.
