Tulips

Tulips are loved for their simple, graceful flowers that bloom in spring and come in an amazing range of colors and forms, from classic cups to softly ruffled or full, layered blooms. Their upright stems and clean shape make them easy to tuck into garden beds, borders, and containers, where they add a fresh burst of color after winter. Whether planted in drifts or mixed with other spring bloomers, tulips bring a cheerful, polished look to the garden.

Tulips

How to Choose

Flower form: Single, double, lily-flowered, fringed, parrot and viridiflora forms give very different silhouettes.

Bloom season: Early, mid and late varieties layered together can carry tulips through six weeks of spring.

Perennial tendency: Darwin hybrids and species tulips return most reliably; many showy types are best treated as annuals.

Height and drainage: Match stem height to the setting and plant in well-drained ground so bulbs do not rot over winter.
