If it doesn't rain, keep watering weekly until the ground freezes. In the UK, the leaves appear in late March and flowers in late May or June.
Tulipa sprengeri is thought to have been native to Amasya Province in northern Turkey. The anther filaments are hairless and slightly flattened near the base.
However, like many plants, consuming this tulip can cause discomfort and should be avoided.
By following these cultivation guidelines, you can enjoy the remarkable beauty of Tulipa sprengeri in your garden. However, the seeds require a process called stratification, where they are subjected to a period of cold temperatures before germination.
DescriptionOverview: A bulbous perennial with a bulb 3-4 cm long and a brown, papery tunic.
Fruits: The fruit is a narrowly cylindrical capsule, up to 5 cm long, with numerous brown seeds. The tepals, or petals, are long and pointed, creating an exquisite form. On this blog, I share in-depth profiles, growing advice, and seasonal inspiration to help fellow gardeners get the most out of every flower.
Tulipa sprengeri was described in 1894 by Kew botanist J.G. Baker, based on cultivated material from Messrs. Whatever the reason, you may prefer to grow your tulips as annuals, replanting each fall. It's a bit more work, but you won't need holes as deep as perennialized planting.
