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 'Jan Reus' is one of the earliest of the dark-flowered tulips to bloom. Flowers are compact and velvety, and work well in cut flower arrangements. Unlike many tulips, ‘Jan Reus’ is more likely to flower for several years after the initial planting, making it a very reliable option for the herbaceous border.
