Tulipa humilis Violacea Group yellow base is also called Tulipa aucheriana Yellow Base, Tulipa pulchellus Yellow Base, or Yellow Base Cocus Tulip. It is a very small botanical species with early and radiant flowers. In early spring, it has star-shaped corollas in deep pink to purple with a yellow heart. The leaves sometimes appear after flowering. It is a very robust plant, native to Turkey and Iran and adapted to poor soils and arid conditions that will easily naturalise in the garden.
Â
Tulipa humilis Violacea Group yellow base belongs to the Liliaceae family. Violacea Group yellow base is a selection with a yellow-marked heart, derived from Tulipa humilis whose origins are lost between the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran. Tulipa humilis has an extremely variable appearance depending on its origin, and due to the number of varieties that have been selected. For this reason, it has several names, which makes the species a bit confusing. This tulip has pointed flowers with 3 sepals identical to the 3 petals at the end of a short floral stem, not more then 10 cm (4in). The star-shaped corolla opens widely in the sun. The flowers emit a particular fragrance. The bulbs are small, 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) in diameter. This plant has dark blue-green, relatively narrow, sometimes almost curled leaves, 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6in) long.
Â
Tulipa humilis Violacea Group yellow base is a little gem that will naturally fit well in a rock garden, in a pot, along a path, or on a wild slope. Far from the large calyxes of its Dutch relatives, its low-lying stars illuminate the flower beds early in spring and are sometimes mistaken for crocuses.
Regarding botanical species:
Tulip species are found in most of the Old World, from Western Europe to China and Japan, passing through Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and Central Asia. Their distribution area also includes North Africa and the Indian subcontinent. The centre of diversity of the genus is in the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains and the steppes of Kazakhstan.
There are various wild species, many of which are endangered. These are either large tulips from cultivated fields, the most well-known being the Agen Tulip (Tulipa agenensis), or small tulips found in wooded areas or among rocks in the mountains. In cultivation, these are called "botanical tulips," and one of the most common is the wild tulip (Tulipa sylvestris), which often used to grow protected by vineyards and whose subspecies australis is known as the southern tulip.

Botanical data
Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, at a depth of 5 cm (2in), 10 cm (4in) apart in ordinary, slightly acidic, neutral, or slightly alkaline, light, loose, sandy or gravelly, and well-draining soil. Never add manure or poorly decomposed compost to the planting soil, as this could cause the bulbs to rot. Botanical tulip humilis will grow well in moist to dry soil, in a sunny or partially shaded location. Once flowering is finished, it is best to remove the seed heads to prevent the plant from becoming exhausted.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
