The Lilac Wonder botanical tulip belongs to the most beautiful bulbous plants of that category. It originates from the farthest corners of Crete and wild regions of Turkey.  The Lilac Wonder tulips do not grow over 20 cm tall. They winter in the ground without any problems. The first leaves appear in April. The short stems end with quite large flowers, that take on a wonderful pink or light purple colour, adorned with a large yellow eye at the bottom. The flowers with pointy petals open broadly on sunny days, fully exposing their marvellous colours. A tulip of that variety constitutes a great lawn, rock garden and edging decoration. It looks great with the late perennials, such as roses and smaller shrubs. These sweet, pink tulips will also adorn pots and baskets.

A botanical tulip is easy to grow. It likes sunny situations. Its soil requirements are limited to permeability and moderate humidity. The bulbs of the Lilac Wonder tulip should be planted in autumn, possibly in September and October. Plant them the triple height of a bulb deep and circa 8 cm apart.  The bulbs do not need to be excavated, they will grow on one site for years. Tulip tufts will spread every year thanks to the developing bulbils. The transplanting and dividing should take place after the leaves dry, end of June and at the beginning of July. Dry the excavated bulbs and store them in an airy place until the planting in autumn.
