Softly hued pink-violet petals, brilliant yellow centers and a cluster forming habit that will translate into more flowers with each passing spring - lots to love about this little wildling tulip. Saxatilis is a sister to Lilac Wonder; see the resemblance?
Native to the island of Crete, this tulip reproduces with stolons, roots that run sideways and sprout here and there. Saxatilis is happiest where it gets a good baking; it's winter hardy in zones 3-4 but really thrives where soils get good and warm.
