Tulip Humilis ‘Helene’ – 10 Bulbs

£5.00

Availability: In stock

10 Bulbs

A small but striking tulip with vibrant raspberry-pink petals and a golden centre that catches the eye.

‘Helene’ is low-growing but always delivers – a lovely way to add colour to pots, gravel planting, or the front of a sunny border.

It flowers early in the season and, like all humilis tulips, comes back reliably each year with minimal effort.

Naturally, we’re a little biased because of the name – but we think every garden deserves a ‘Helene’.

Height – 20cm

Spread – 10cm

Plant – Autumn

Flowering – Mar, Apr

Spacing – 10-15cm

Seed Story

Tulipa humilis is a wild tulip native to the rocky hillsides of Iran, eastern Turkey, and the southern Caucasus – a region known for its extraordinary biodiversity and ancient horticultural history.

First described botanically in 1855, it quickly found its way into gardens across Europe, admired for its jewel-toned petals, compact form, and reliable return.

Unlike modern hybrid tulips that often fade after one showy season, humilis tulips are true species – low-growing, long-lived, and full of character.

They’re happiest in well-drained soil and sunny spots, where they’ll flower early and return with the same energy each spring – making a simple statement in your garden.
