Tulipa saxatilis Lilac Wonder (Botanical Tulip)
Some tulips will naturalize and come back to bloom year after year. Tulip ‘Lilac Wonder’ is one to try! Quite short, this award-winning tulip still makes a striking impact with its lovely color combination: pastel lilac petals with a deep lemon-yellow center. The completely opened flower forms a star during the sunny hours. A beautiful sight!
