Add Sunny Sweetness to your Garden
Introduced in 1998, this enchanting tulip radiates a dreamy pale yellow with soft pink flushes on the outside, while the inside is a clear pale yellow. These petite beauties are narrow and pointed when closed, but when fully open reveal their sweet faces to the spring sunshine. Complemented by lovely grey-green leaves, Tulip Honky Tonk is a charming addition to tuck into small spaces in your garden or patio containers. Known for being one of the best naturalizers, Species Tulips multiply freely each year. The bulbs may be small, but they yield impressive blooms. RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Tulip General Information

Specie Tulips are short which makes them the ideal choice for pots and rock gardens. Naturalize well. Like having two tulips: the outer color is shown on early mornings and cloudy days and sunlight opens the blossoms to reveal their inner coloring.

Tulip Plant Care

Plant in well-drained soil at least 3" deep and 4-6" apart. Foliage should not be removed until withered as energy is being stored for the next growing season. Stems can be cut back to maintain appearances if desired. Interested in forcing bulbs? Visit our Useful Links page.
