WILD YELLOW TULIP
SKU: 1431-5
Starshaped flowers, golden-yellow, with creamy-white tips. Dark green foliage. Best with well-drained soil, and excellent plant for rock gardens. This plant had obtained the Award of Garden Merit (A.G.M.) from the Royal Horticultural Society.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-7
Height: 15cm, 6"
Location: Sun or part shade
Note: This plant species is known to have toxicity. Ingestion of these seeds or this plant can cause illness such as vomiting or diarrhea.
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
