Botanical tulip bulbs are very good at coming back year after year. Botanical tulips bloom early and bloom longer than other tulips. Leaves and flowers are more delicate than those of cultivated tulip bulbs, which is why they are also very good for flower meadows and for the perennial bed in the garden as flowers that come early. Some botanical species of tulips even self-sow. The tulip bulb itself is smaller than that of cultivated tulips. The different species can be mixed in the garden, this will give a beautiful mix of wild tulips.
