Tulipa hageri 'Little Beauty' is a very pretty species tulip with bright pink flowers with deep blue centres and a delicious scent. Species tulips are perennial. They often form a colony that gently thrives and reproduces for at least several decades. It is better not to lift them as disturbing them every year will interrupt their natural inclination to increase. They naturallize well and look very good in wild areas or show-cased in pots.

Tips for Growing Botanical/Species Tulips
- In the wild, many of these Tulips will rest in very dry soil during the summer. Make sure your soil is well-drained. Add plenty of sharp grit if necessary.
- For a natural look, try scattering bulbs and planting them where they fall.
- As with other tulips, leave dying foliage for at least six weeks after flowering.
- To encourage naturalizing don't deadhead the flowers.
