The Tulip 'Perlina', 'Tulipa Greigii', a fall planted bulb, produces bunch flowering and two-tone colored flowers. The unique mottled foliage adds to its attractiveness. Greigii tulips are great for beds, borders, rock gardens, and cut flowers. They bloom in mid spring and produce one six-petaled flower on a short, rigid stem. The petals are usually pointed. They have an added attraction in that the leaves are usually patterned with stripes or spots, in purple or brown. Finally, they naturalize very well. If you leave them alone, they come back year after year, and even multiply.
