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 ‘Gold Fever’, which resembles a peony, bears double yellow flowers, large and heavy, on thick stems. For best results, plant Tulipa 'Gold Fever' bulbs at a depth of 15cm, in late summer or autumn.
