"Listening to some gardeners talk about it, you would think that a genuinely "perennial" tulip is some kind of holy grail. The dream of a tulip that comes back and multiplies has inspired and then eluded many gardeners. Any skepticism you may have is why I hesitate to make the following claim, but here it is: Wild or species tulips are perennials." Tulip Wilsoniana is native to Central Asia. It is very cold and heat hardy due to its native harsh climate. It will like just about any sunny spot with well drained soil. Each bulb can produce several bright yellow flowers with varying degrees of red highlights. Zones 4-9 This auction is for 8++ cm size bulbs (huge for species tulips).
