Tulipa marjolettii

Tulipa marjolettii is a tall tulip with creamy yellow flowers with a pink flush.

Tulipa marjolettii is a tall tulip that can reach 1-2 feet with flowers emerging creamy white to creamy yellow gradually darkening to light yellow as a pink flush begins at the base and gradually spreads upwards. 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.
