An extremely rare, low-growing tulip with surprisingly large flowers, in colours ranging from red to orange and yellow, with one color sometimes brushed over another. Originating from the mountains of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, it is known to be one of the strongest tulips from that region, where it thrives at more than 2,000m/6,500ft. Specialist collectors and growers in the Netherlands have observed that it makes so-called sinkers or droppers, new bulbs that push down very deeply in the soil, presumably to seek protection from hostile weather. It is simply stunning and highly recommended as a "must have" tulip.
