Such a delicate beauty! Tulipa humilis ‘Alba Coreulea Oculata’ is refined with its goblet-shaped white flowers, pointed petals, and deep blue heart. A real delight in the garden with its starry flowers opening to expose their steel-blue heart in full sun! Quite short, this gem still makes a striking impact! Flowering in early-mid spring, this small but spectacular tulip is a member of the Botanical Tulips and is quite versatile in the garden.
A symbol of spring, tulips are the most popular spring bulbs; most gardeners reserve them a spot in the garden or in containers. Grown for their attractive, vibrantly colored flowers, there are currently over 3,000 registered varieties, divided into fifteen groups, mostly based on the tulip’s flower type, size, and blooming period.
Botanical Tulips: it is generally assumed that about 150 wild species exist in an area running roughly from Central Asia to Spain and Portugal. These are real early birds: they bloom before any other tulips. They catch the eye not only because of their extra early flowering but also because of their inflorescence and cheery range of colors. In addition, the flowers’ graceful opening and their pretty foliage make them attractive before, during, and after flowering. In other words, Botanical tulips are simply bursting with nice characteristics.
