Van Zyverden Small Talk Red Crocus Lookalikes Set of 12 Bulbs Red Part Sun

Theses bulbs aren’t Crocus at all, but are actually Specie Tulips. We highlight them as Crocus look alikes as they look just like them. These wild tulips , or close to wild, are commercially grown by professional growers. Sometimes they are called ‘botanical tulips.’ They can be found in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. They are often overlooked due to their smaller size. They perform beautifully and naturalize extremely well in USDA zones 3-8. The botanical name is Tulipa humilis Tete a Tete which is a miniature clone the size of a Crocus. Unusual double flowers which may have 12 petals at first. However as the bulb size grows larger the flowers become more crowded with petals, bearing extra flowers which become more numerous and larger. Narrow gray-green leaves.
