Tulipa clusiana, the lady tulip,[3] is an Asian species of tulip native to Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and the western Himalayas. It is widely cultivated as an ornamental and is reportedly naturalized in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Tunisia, Greece, and Turkey.[2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

The plant grows to a height of 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm). It flowers during the spring season.[11][12]

The following cultivars have received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. All are relatively small, with narrow pointed tepals, often bi-coloured.

'Lady Jane'[14] (inners white, outers pink bordered with white)
'Peppermintstick'[15] (outers cerise pink with white borders, inners white)
