Truly one of the most beautiful wild tulips, a dwarf at only 4-6 cm high, with striking star-shaped, silvery-white flowers and a steel-blue heart. This species has been sold under various names over the years, including T. violacea pallida, T. pulchella coerulea-oculata, T. pulchella albocoerulea oculata, T. pulchella pallida, and other variations. They grow in both sun and shade; the more shade, the longer the stem. An ideal tulip for our climate, blooming in March and April.
