About

Tulipa dasystemon, synonym Tulipa neustruevae, is a bulbous herbaceous perennial species of tulip (Tulipa) in the family Liliaceae. It belongs to the section Biflores.

How to grow it

Tulipa dasystemon has been confused in cultivation. Bulbs sold under this name at one time were actually a different, but similar species, Tulipa urumiensis (syn. Tulipa tarda). Bulbs of this species are also cultivated under the name Tulipa neustruevae. In England, the plant is recommended for growing in an alpine house or bulb frame.

Where it grows

Tulipa dasystemon is native to central Asia – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Xinjiang in China. It occurs on sunny slopes at altitudes up to 3,200 m. Populations that have been described under the synonym Tulipa neustruevae are found at lower altitudes.
