Organic woodland tulips
The organically grown Tulipa sylvestris, also known as the woodland tulip or wild tulip, is a unique tulip species that is often found in wooded environments. This tulip's blooming period usually begins in early spring, making it a welcome addition to the spring garden. The flowers of the Tulipa sylvestris are small to medium sized and have 6-8 soft, yellow petals that curl slightly outward, giving them a playful and attractive appearance.
What makes the woodland tulip really special is the long, slender stem that emerges from the flower bud. This sturdy stem can reach a height of 25 to 40 centimeters, allowing the flower to protrude beautifully above the green foliage.
A striking feature of the Tulipa sylvestris is its scent. The flowers emit a sweet, pleasant scent that fills gardens and flowerbeds with a wonderful aroma.
How, where and when do I plant woodland tulip bulbs?
It is best to plant the flower bulbs in the ground from September to January. For the planting depth, use 2 to 3 times the height of the bulb and for the planting distance, use 2 to 3 times the width of the flower bulb. In the case of the Tulipa sylvestris this is approximately 10 centimeters. Place the flower bulb with the pointed end up in the planting hole.
The woodland tulip thrives best in well-drained soil. It prefers a slightly moist soil during the growing period, but the soil should not be too wet or too heavy to prevent rotting of the bulbs. The woodland tulip grows well in different soil types, including sandy soil, loam soil and clay soil. The most important thing is that the soil is not too compact and has good drainage.
They feel especially at home under trees, in wooded environments or in the edges of shrubs. Choose a spot where they get enough sunlight in the spring before the leaves of trees and shrubs fully develop.
Care of the woodland tulip
Remove dead flowers to prevent seed formation. Allow the leaves of Tulipa sylvestris to wilt and turn yellow naturally after flowering. This ensures that the nutrients return to the bulb for the next flowering cycle. Avoid cutting off the leaves prematurely, as this can affect the health of the flower bulb.
Origin of the woodland tulip
The origin of Tulipa sylvestris lies in the wilderness of Europe, particularly in regions such as the Mediterranean, the Balkans, and parts of Central and Western Europe. It is a tulip that naturally occurs in forests, grasslands, and mountainous areas, and it is classified as a “stinzenplant” (naturalized garden plant). This means that sylvestris has been present in the Netherlands for hundreds of years.

Prachtig
Prachtige tulpjes, heel mooi ingevouwen bloembladen. Ene heeft uitgevouwen andere helft dicht. Bloeit vrij lang.
