Small Tulip in the miscellaneous group from Turkey, Iran, Iraq and surrounding regions.

Has 2-5 slim lance shaped, grey-green leaves. Bears star shaped, dark pink-purplish flowers with dark blue or black, olive green or yellow basal markings sometimes marked with another colour inside the flower and sometimes tinted green on the outside of the petals.

Flowers April-May

Likes a well drained, fertile soil in full sun. Need to be kept dry during dormancy in Summer. Very slow to increase.
