The wild tulip is one of the most endangered species on the Red List. For decades she grew wild as a weed on vineyards, originally from the Mediterranean and the Middle East. With the professionalization, and especially with the use of herbicides in wine growing, the Tulipa sylvestris have almost completely disappeared from the scene. That alone is reason enough to bring the beautiful, yellow-flowered lily plants into the gardens and cultivate and multiply there.
During flowering Tulipa sylvestris like to be quite wet. In this time, especially when there is little rain, you should always keep the soil well moist. About 2-3 weeks after flowering, do not administer additional water.
The summer is best spent in the dry. If the location is ideal, Tulipa sylvestris species need no horticultural care, no fertilization. In order to promote the willingness to flower, one sometimes meets the recommendation to fertilize them during the flowering period weekly. Here everyone should rely on their own experiences over time. In any case, no fertilizer is used after flowering.
Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils.
The Wild Tulip does not need a pruning. If you do not want to receive seeds or avoid them multiplying by their seeds, you can cut off the withered plant parts. At the same time, this ensures that the force now migrates to the next onion generation, which will then produce many new flowers next year. The leaves remain on the plant until they are properly dried. Then they can be easily removed.
they get along very well with cold winters and do not need further winter protection. On the contrary, under a precautionary winter protection could cause too much moisture and plant parts would rot.
the bulb and the flowers have been known to cause dermatitis in sensitive people, though up to 5 bulbs a day can be eaten without ill-effect
