Tulipa zonneveldii
€8.50
Dutch Tax included
Description
A new species from the eastern Chatkal Mountains in Kyrgyzstan, introduced by J.J. de Groot and K.S. Tojbaev. Initially thought to be a form of T. ferganica, but given its different growing conditions - this tulip grows among shrubs in a partially shaded habitat - and its colour, it was investigated further. Dr Ben J.M. Zonneveld, after whom this species is named, noted the major differences in its DNA. The inside of the petals is bright light yellow, the outside soft yellow, showing a greenish grey to soft red haze. The blue-green, slender leaves, six in number, are wavy.
