Description

Common Name: Lady Tulip, Botanical Tulip ‘Dasystemon Tarda’, Tulipa tarda

Like violet and yellow Lilac Wonder, ‘Tarda’ is one of the few species tulips that has developed a mainstream following. It provides great splash for the dollar, self seeds where happy to form large lemon and white patches, is sweetly scented and can be grown tucked among low groundcovers to jump start the flowering season.

Botanical tulips are what tulips used to look like and still look like in the wild. They are smaller in bulb size, height, and flower size than your standard spring tulips but they are just as colourful and perhaps a little bit more sophisticated. They look more like sparkling jewels than a big brash boisterous flower.

Bulbs require well drained soil. Will not perform well if soil holds too much water. Add sand or grit to the bottom of the hole to improve drainage.
