Tulipa wilsoniana
Tulipa wilsoniana has relatively large cup shaped red flowers sitting atop rippled, bluish foliage.
Tulipa wilsoniana is a perfectly miniature botanical tulip with cup shaped flowers that have been described as the perfect red. The bloom is large in relation to the plant sitting on a short stem just above the gently wavy, blue-green foliage. 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 and will naturalize when happy unlike the large Dutch hybrids which are often treated as annuals or which fail after a couple years.
