What are Species Tulips?

Species tulips are spring bulbs that can be left in the ground to return year on year and will naturalise if left undisturbed. They are shorter, smaller and look delicate, but most Species Tulips originate from mountainous regions and are very hardy.

How to grow Species Tulips

Plant Species Tulip bulbs in Autumn between October and December in well draining soil. They will grow in with full sun or semi shade. To get the full effect of these small bulbs we would recommend planting in a sunny position. The flowers open up and catch the sun making a bright addition to the garden.

After they have finished flowering, leave the foliage in place to die back before removing, so that nutrients can feed back into the bulb to be stored for flowering next spring. Species Tulips can be left in the ground as reliable perennials.

If you would like your Species tulips to naturalize, don’t deadhead them, allow them to go to seed.
