Persian Pearl is a miniature species tulip that brings wildflower charm to spring gardens in zones 5 through 5. Standing just 6 inches tall, this cultivar displays striking purplish-pink petals surrounding sunny yellow centers, a color combination that feels both delicate and bold. Unlike larger hybrid tulips, Persian Pearl multiplies readily when conditions suit it, gradually expanding into cheerful drifts year after year. These are true species tulips, closer to their wild ancestors than their ornamental cousins, and they thrive in full sun with well-drained soil.

Purplish-pink petals with bright yellow centers make Persian Pearl visually distinctive among miniature tulips, and its tendency to multiply over time transforms a small planting into a reliable annual display. The compact 6-inch height suits it to rock gardens, borders, and containers where larger tulips would overwhelm the space. As a species tulip, it carries the hardiness and vigor of its wild ancestry, requiring less coddling than many hybrid varieties once established.
Persian Pearl serves as an ornamental spring bulb for gardens, borders, rock gardens, and containers. Its miniature stature and multiply-readily nature make it suited to naturalized plantings where you want color to return and expand with minimal intervention.
