Not a cultivar group, but a collection of species, varieties and their cultivars in which the wild species is evident and not belonging to any other cultivar group.
T. acuminata “Firefl ame Tulip” #T502 Scarlet and yellow with long, curiously twisted petals. Although classifi ed as a species, it’s not known in the wild and is probably an ancient hybrid of garden origin. We plant it as a “shocker” to confound friends who’ve never seen a wacky tulip before. Don’t hesitate to put it in the rock garden. It’s quite petite with minimal leaves.

10 ❧ McClure & Zimmerman
(Excerpt “Adventures with Hardy Bulbs,” Louise Beebe Wilder, 1936) “A little Tulip for rock gardeners to dream about and to secure at the earliest possible moment. It hails from Asia Minor and is said to be only a color form of the brillant linifolia and closely allied to Maximowiczii, but it has plenty of distinction of its own. It produces four or fi ve stem leaves, and a stout little stem bearing a small generous cup with rather bluntly pointed segments. They are lightly fragrant. It crosses freely with its brilliant allies, and from these crosses, it is said, have been raised many beautiful forms in pinkish red, lemon, apricot and peach.”

Species tulips are easy to grow . . . just give them well-drained soil and full sun. They es- tablish quickly, either self-seeding or spreading by stolons under the soil surface.
