Culip Species and Hybrid Species 
Particularly valuable because they are permanent. Once planted they need no further care and come up every 
year. 
Tulip species, coming as they do from southern Europe and Asia, should be planted in dry, sunny locations. 
The following collection of Tulip Species or Botanical Tulips includes a great number of beautiful and interesting 
varieties, which show a bewildering variation of size and shape of flowers, structure of the leaves, habits, etc., and 
they only have in common that they grow wild in some part of the world, Asia Minor, Central Asia, Greece, the 
Mediterranean, etc. Cultivation has not modified them and they may be planted in the rock garden between creeping 
plants or in colonies in small, warm nooks where they will come up year after year without any care.
