Tiny but tenacious, Saxatilis tulips bloom in delicate lilac and soft yellow tones, perfect for naturalistic plantings and cozy garden corners. A native of Crete’s rocky hillsides, this species tulip prefers well-draining soil and thrives when planted close together. Their slight fragrance and exceptional longevity make them a favorite for rock gardens, pots, and naturalized drifts where they can create a pastel carpet of colour for years to come.

Tulip Planting & Care

(Tulip Saxatilis)

  • Tulips are cold-hardy and thrive outdoors through the winter. For optimal results, plant them anytime from October through mid-December. If your bulbs arrive earlier in the season (like September), store them in a cool, dry, and rodent-proof place until the weather cools enough for planting.
  • You can plant tulip bulbs directly into garden beds or outdoor containers.
  • For gardens with dense or clay-heavy soil, improve drainage by mixing in generous amounts of compost and coarse sand or grit.
  • Choose a location that gets full sun or partial/dappled shade.
  • Plant each bulb 15–20 cm deep, ensuring the pointed tip is facing upwards.
  • In containers, space bulbs about 10 cm apart for a full, lush look. In garden beds, you can space them slightly farther apart if desired.
