Tulipa humilis, 'Persian Pearl'
March 2012 ~ Utrecht, Netherlands
Tulipa humilis Persian Pearl is a miniature charmer! It easily naturalizes, is an annual you don't have to dig up after the blooming season, flowers early and grows to approx. 15cm (6") in height. They look best planted in groups of, at least, 15-20 bulbs ... in my opinion.
Although the weird, late, hard freeze we had this winter stunted many of my tulips, a lot of these little Persian Pearls appear to have weathered the severe conditions pretty well. I love seeing their bright magenta petals amongst all the greens. :o)
