This is the readily available clone of this Tulip which ranges from eastern Europe to central Asia. An easy garden species and only about four inches high.

As far as I know schrenkii only comes in this colour. Surely it is strong enough for you, Terra,:-). The bright red petals with strong yellow rim. It is one of my brightest tulips.

Yes, it is a really bright one.
I like it.
Was just curious that it might come in another shade...
Lol.
I've put on my favs. for future reference.
How do you mark where the tulips are under the gravel?
Do you push in little labels ?

lovely tulip bulbaholic.

Little plastic labels at the moment, I am afraid. A few weeks ago someone on the site spoke about writing the names on pebbles and that idea impressed me. I will try it out this summer.

Good idea ~
But pebbles which are large enough that the birds don't kick them around and re-label everything for you. Lol....

Pretty like little maids all in a row :)

Writing the names on pebbles sounds like a really good plan! These dwarf tulips are lovely and won't be prone to get knocked about in the wind. How long do they bloom, BH?

I would expect to get about a month, Whistonlass.
