Little Beauty Wildflower Tulip
Little Beauty tulip is a small, spring flower. It grows from fall-planted bulbs.
Unlike larger tulips, Little Beauty is much shorter, only growing a few inches tall. It has beautiful dark pink flowers with a blue and lavender center. It makes a nice splash of color in spring.
The leaves yellow and wither shortly after blooming, and the plant stays dormant until the following year.
They are quite small, so be sure to plant them in an area where they will be noticed.
