One of our most reliable species tulips is now called Tulipa saxatilis Bakeri Group 'Lilac Wonder' - quite a mouthful!

'Little Princess' is a very interesting shape for a tulip, Fermi. How tall are those flowers?

Hi Alisdair,
those ones are only a few inches high, somewhere around 3 in (6 or 7 cm), but in another bed they can get up to twice that height,

Does anyone know whether T. linifolia needs pre-chilling? Also when would be the best time to plant - should I wait till the temps drop a bit? It's around 25C daytime high (77f) at the moment. Thanks!
