There's been some exciting breeding and hybridising using species tulips - those closely related to wild tulips - in recent years, which has made them perfect plants for withstanding tulip fire.
Species tulips are a newfound favourite for Josie and Sarah at Perch Hill, and in this episode we’ll hear why they’re a must-have for pots in particular, and which incredible varieties have captured their attention.
In this episode, discover:
- The remarkable resilience of species tulips to wetter springs and fungal disease
- A vibrant world of unique tulip varieties, from the flame-like Tulip acuminata, to Cretan natives like Hilde
- Tips for naturalising species tulips in grass and growing in pots for decades of stunning blooms
- How species tulips are the ultimate breakfast buffet for early pollinators and emerging bumblebee queens
