Fusilier Species Tulip:
The Tulip 'Fusilier', 'Tulipa species', a fall planted bulb, produce red flowers on short stems. They actally produce a "bunch" of red flowers per bulb. The Species Tulips are rarely planted in large masses because their main feature is their uniqueness. Species Tulips are suitable for rock gardens and small group plantings, and they prefer to be left in the ground to multiply naturally. It's like having two different flowers in the same space at once. The leaves should not be cut back until they begin to yellow. This permits bulbs to recharge before going summer-dormant.
