Tulipa x hybrids

Description:
These popular cut flowers come in a wide range of colours.

Tulips are often early flowerers, though they are sometimes sold late in garden centres and nurseries.
It is not worth keeping bulbs for the next season, as they require special treatment to ensure flowers.

This plant originates in Eurasia.

They are winter growing, but should not be planted before late April or early May.
