The flowers have six petals that form a chalice-shaped bloom and are carried on short, sturdy stems about 15 centimeters tall. As soon as the sun shines on the flowers in March and April, they open into a striking star shape. The tips of the pointed petals curve slightly backward, and the flower reaches about 5 centimeters in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile not suitable as a cut flower, this tulip is perfect for filling borders, and it also looks lovely in a low container, especially when combined with grape hyacinths.

Plant them in the ground from September to January, with the pointed end facing upward. Use the rule of thumb: plant the bulb at a depth of 2 to 3 times its own height, and space them 2 to 3 times the width of the bulb apart, which in this case is about 10 centimeters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny to partially shaded spot in the garden and plant the bulbs in well-draining soil. They prefer light soil with moderate fertility. The soil should not be too heavy or clay-rich, as this can hinder drainage and cause the bulbs to rot. (It’s especially important that the soil doesn’t retain too much moisture during the bulbs’ dormant summer period.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTip: If your soil is naturally heavy or clay-based, you can improve structure and drainage by adding organic material, such as compost or well-rotted manure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive \u003cem\u003eTulipa saxatilis\u003c\/em\u003e a light organic feed in early spring, just after the shoots emerge. Allow the foliage to die back completely after flowering before removing it. The leaves provide the bulb with energy for the next growing season. You can cut them back once they’ve yellowed and wilted, but they generally die back on their own fairly quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf after a few years the bulbs begin to rise above the soil surface, it’s best to replant them at the proper depth in autumn. A good rule of thumb is to plant them 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther than that, \u003cem\u003esaxatilis\u003c\/em\u003e requires very little maintenance and has the ability to \u003cstrong\u003enaturalize\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It has a wide distribution, ranging from the Mediterranean region (including Crete, Turkey, and Greece) to Iran and Turkmenistan. Its former name, ‘Candie’, is the old name for Crete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Saxatilis\" is a Latin term used to describe plants that grow in rocky places or crevices. In the case of \u003cem\u003eTulipa saxatilis\u003c\/em\u003e, it means this tulip species naturally thrives in rocky soil or mountainous regions where the ground is stony.
