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 'Flaming Parrot' has bold yellow flowers with fiery markings. The fringed petals gives each flower a ruffled effect, opening up in big blooms. Tulip bulbs are irritant to skin and eyes, so handle with care when planting. While it's recommended to let foliage die back before removing to encourage strong bulbs, do remove fading flowers to avoid the plant putting energy into creating seeds.
