Tulip 'Persian Pearl', Tulipa humilis var. pulchella 'Persian Pearl', Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl', Botanical Tulip, Tulip Species, Rock Garden Tulip, Wild Tulip
Small and delicate, Tulipa pulchella ‘Persian Pearl’ is a real delight in the garden with its starry flowers opening to expose their bright golden heart in full sun! Quite short, this gem still makes a striking impact with its lovely color combination: magenta-rose on the outside and cyclamen-purple on the inside. A beautiful sight! Flowering in early spring, this 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 and 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, which are divided into fifteen groups, mostly based on the flower type, size, and blooming period of the tulip.
Botanical Tulips: it is generally assumed that about 150 different 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 graceful way the flowers open and their pretty foliage make them attractive before, during, and after flowering. In other words, Botanical tulips are simply bursting with nice characteristics.
