With delicate, Easter-egg colours of pale lilac centring around a soft, butter yellow base, ‘Saxatilis’ makes an early appearance to welcome warmer spring days. Misty mauve petals exhibit a silvery, sparkling sheen against a handsome backdrop of glossy, dark green leaves.

Found growing in great swathes on the rocky hillsides of the Aegean Islands, these botanical tulips make an excellent choice for naturalising on well-drained soil amongst borders and lawns. Their compact habit also makes them ideal for rockeries and containers. The RHS has granted ‘Saxatilis’ with an Award of Garden Merit’, so you can be sure it will thrive in your garden.
