Tulipa-Botanical acuminata
Tulipa acuminata has narrow, wild, twisting yellow petals tipped with scarlet as if in flame.
A prized heirloom from 1813, Tulipa acuminata, known as the Turkish or fire flame tulip, has upright stems and narrow, wild, twisting yellow petals variably tipped with scarlet as if in flame. Botanical tulips are miniature to small species tulips, cultivars of species, or dwarf named cultivars not far removed from their wild ancestors. They are strongly perennial in good drainage with full sun and will naturalize when happy.
