Tulip - Saxatilis - Tulipa - Intensely Violet-Yellow Blooms - Bulbs - 5 pcs

Tulipa saxatilis stands out for its striking combination of violet and yellow petals, making it an eye-catching addition to garden borders and rockeries. This variety is valued for its robust nature and ability to thrive in less sheltered spots, offering reliable visual impact each spring. Its compact size and resilience make it suitable for both experienced gardeners and those planting bulbs for the first time, bringing vivid colour to the garden at a time when most plants are just beginning to emerge.

Planting Time

Plant Saxatilis bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. Early planting allows for proper root development before winter sets in, supporting healthy spring growth.

Planting Depth

Set each bulb at a depth of 6-8 cm in well-drained soil. This depth helps protect the bulbs during colder months and encourages strong, healthy shoots.

Spacing

Allow 8 cm between each bulb. Adequate spacing supports even development and enhances the visual effect of flowering plants.

Height

When in bloom, Tulipa saxatilis reaches a height of approximately 30 cm. Its stature makes it well-suited to the front of beds and borders, as well as groupings with other spring-flowering garden bulbs.

Flowering Time

This tulip variety flowers from April to May, producing intensely coloured blooms during the early part of the season when few other perennials are in flower.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Tulipa saxatilis is fully hardy and remains in the ground throughout winter without the need for lifting. Its ability to overwinter reliably adds to its appeal for those seeking perennial bulbs that require minimal maintenance.

Uses

Suitable for borders, rock gardens, containers on patios and balconies, and naturalistic plantings. Its compact growth and vivid colouring allow for creative combinations with other spring-flowering flower bulbs. The plant’s durability and low maintenance needs make it a practical choice for a wide range of garden settings.
