Mauve-lilac with yellow-brown stained blotch.
(Classified list and International register of tulip names, 1987)

Native of western Iran, but like T.urumiensis better known in cultivation than in the wild. Close to T.humilis, but with smaller more starry flowers, pink with a yellow center. Easy to grow in well-drained soil in a sunny position, not requiring lifting in summer.
(Martyn Rix, Roger Phillips "The Bulb Book", 1981)
