    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    With its almost savage beauty, this bright, dagger-petaled tulip was listed as a wild species in 19th-century catalogs. But its never been found in the wild and may be a survivor from the early 1700s when tulips much like it (and T. acuminata) ruled in the lavish gardens of the Ottoman Empire. Whatever its origins, it's spectacular! Lily-flowered, 16", zones 4a-7b(8bWC), from the Hortus Bulborum.
