Hilde

A fantastically beautiful botanical tulip for the pot, in the rock garden or a place of honor at the front of the border. A wonderfully richly flowering miniature tulip of Greek origin. She was born in the Netherlands, mind you, but her mother has her roots on the sunny Greek island of Crete where she is known as Tulipa cretica.

Tulip lovers will certainly know the Tulipa cretica and they may wonder if Hilde is not just a selection from the Tulipa cretica. Rightly so, the beautiful Hilde looks exactly like her mother but she is different.

She blooms a little later, gives considerably more flowers and she grows much better. Plant Hilde in a sunny spot in your garden. If she likes it, she can come back for years. Not only for me is she one of the favorite botanical tulips, the bumblebees and the bees also love Hilde.
