Tulipa urmiensis Seeds

Tulipa Urmiensis

This is a dwarf species that originates from Turkey, with narrow leaves and bright golden yellow flowers which are bronzed on the outer side with reddish brown ribs. It is a long-flowering miniature botanical tulip, which holds both its leaves and flowers close to the ground. April blooms are followed by ornamentally appealing seed heads. It is justly a recipient of the Award of Garden Merit. It is native to the northern shore of Lake Urumiya in Azerbaijan, and is named for that lake.
