Tulipa hungarica, the Hungarian tulip, Danube tulip, Banat tulip or Rhodope tulip, is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae. It is also in the subgenus Tulipa. It is found on the rocky mountainsides of Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovenia, especially along the gorges of the river Danube. It has small bright yellow flowers in spring and blue-grey leaves.
It is a rare plant in European gardens, but can grow in full sun in fertile soil with good drainage. They could be ideal for use in rock gardens and in forest environments.
It can be affected by the parasite Vankya heufleri, in the flowers, leaves and roots.
Tulipa hungarica grows on limestone soils, in open mixed deciduous forests and below shrubs. As an example, it is found on the rocky sides of the gorge on the river Danube, especially through the Iron Gates gorge between Romania and Serbia, also known as the Djerdap gorge. It also grows alongside the Danube gorge through Hungary.
