Tulip 'Hilde' (Tulipa cretica) is a rare beauty from the Cretan mountains, with petals that range from pale pink to almost white, blushed with deeper pink, and a yellow base inside. Despite its delicate appearance, this botanical tulip is remarkably strong and will naturalize when left undisturbed in a gritty, well-drained area. Each stem, contrasting deep green to maroon, holds up to three star-shaped flowers. 'Hilde' is perfect for the front of borders, rockeries, or containers, where its charming blooms can be admired up close. Please note that all our loose bulbs are sourced from Taylors Bulbs. These are amongst the best in the country, guaranteed disease free and true to type. They should not be mixed up with cheaper inferior products.
