Flava Species is a luminous species tulip that brings an unexpected warmth to spring gardens. Its pale orange-apricot petals, tipped with red and centered by a bronzy-yellow eye, create a sophisticated color combination that feels both delicate and bold. Reaching just 9 inches tall and thriving in hardiness zones 5 through 5, this floriferous stunner belongs to the species tulip class, a group prized for their smaller, more refined blooms and reliable perennial behavior compared to their Darwin hybrid cousins.

This pale orange-apricot beauty produces an abundance of blooms despite its modest 9-inch stature, each flower crowned by a distinctive bronzy-yellow center and tipped with deep red. The refined scale and prolific flowering habit of species tulips makes Flava Species a masterful choice for naturalizing in rock gardens, alpine troughs, or the front edges of mixed borders where their delicate architecture can be fully appreciated. Its compact growth and cold-hardy nature (zones 5 to 5) reward patient gardeners who let the bulbs settle in and multiply year after year.
Flava Species excels as a cutting flower for small arrangements and is treasured by gardeners who appreciate species tulips for their ability to naturalize and return reliably season after season. Its modest height and prolific blooming make it invaluable for creating drifts of color in rock gardens, alpine containers, or along pathway edges where its sophisticated apricot and red tones can be savored up close.
