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 ‘New Design’ bears light pink and cream blooms that gradually open to deep pink and yellow. Its foliage is grey-green with white margins. As with all tulips, plant bulbs of Tulipa ‘New Design’ in well-drained soil, kept moist during the growing period.
