Tulipa linifolia (Batalinii Group) ‘Honky Tonk’ is a beautiful tulip in shades of pale lemon yellow sometimes flushed with pink above narrow, twisted foliage. If the weather is right, the blooms can last a month. Botanical tulips are miniature to small in size and not far removed from their wild ancestors. They are strongly perennial and will naturalize when happy unlike the large Dutch hybrids which are often treated as annuals or which fail after a couple years.
