(Sp) Species Group Best for naturalizing
These are the wild ones! Or their close relatives. These original tulips are smaller, tougher and the best choice for tulips that can come back year after year. My experience says they do best when they are allowed to remain very dry during hot summer months. It is generally assumed that about 150 different wild species exist in an area running roughly from Central Asia to Spain and Portugal. The interest in wild species is increasing steadily. The bulbs, offered in sizes 6/8 to 8/10, are smaller than those of ordinary tulips and are very easy to naturalize. This class includes species, variants, and hybrids derived from these wild tulips which are cultivated and sold commercially. To illustrate: a wild species of tulip might be called something like Tulipa batalini or Tulipa humilis. If someone has developed a cultivated variant, it might be named, for example, Tulipa batalinii 'Bright Gem' or Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl'.
