Tulip Sylvestris is a charming species tulip that produces graceful, nodding golden-yellow flowers with elegantly pointed petals and a delicate fragrance. Flowering in early to mid-spring, this beautiful heirloom variety reaches approximately 12cm in height, making it ideal for rockeries, woodland gardens, borders and naturalising beneath deciduous trees. Its ability to spread naturally over time creates increasingly attractive drifts of cheerful spring colour.

Perfect for informal planting schemes, Tulip Sylvestris returns reliably in favourable conditions and is one of the best tulips for naturalising. Its bright yellow blooms also attract early pollinators, bringing life and colour to the spring garden.

Aftercare
Water after planting if conditions are dry and allow the bulbs to establish over winter. Leave the foliage in place after flowering until it has died back naturally, allowing the bulbs to store energy for the following season. Tulip Sylvestris performs best when left undisturbed, where it will gradually naturalise and produce larger displays year after year.
