The tulip is a stalwart of the late-spring garden. There are hundreds to choose from, including traditional, single cup-shaped varieties, double-flowered cultivars and those with elegant, goblet-shaped flowers. Tulips grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. However, they don’t always come back the following year and are therefore often best treated as annuals.
Tulipa 'Flamboyant' produces single, elegant orange petals with yellow margins that bleed into the centre colour. As with all tulips, plant in well-drained soil, kept moist during the growing period. After flowering, don't cut off foliage but leave it to die down naturally, as damage to it can prevent flowering the following year.
