T. ‘Honky Tonk’
A tulip’s native habitat
is in the mountainous
regions of Turkey,
Iran and other areas
that are very well
drained and where
summer baking and
dry climates are a
natural occurrence.
Here in our own rock
garden, T. ‘Honky
Tonk’ is planted in
scree (small gravel)
on the side of a southfacing
hill. It is happily
blooming with a
little white daffodil,
N. ‘Toto’, T. clusiana
var. ‘Tubergen’s
Gem’ and other miscellaneous
tulips that
prefer a similar environment.
Although the plant’s genes predetermine its size
and height, in reality, having your spring flowering bulbs
reach their maximum size and height has everything
to do with the richness of soil, proper nutrients and
available moisture. If bulbs are planted VERY late,
they may not have enough time to develop a good root
system and are often shorter than usual. However, if
sun-loving plants are planted in an area with too much
shade, they may actually stretch to find the sun, making
them grow taller than expected.
