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 ‘Rajka’ produces single, cup shaped blooms of a burgundy colour. Petals are shaped with a fine tip and lined with white margins. Tulips grow best in sunny positions, in a well-drained soil. They require a cold period to produce foliage and blooms, so ensure they're planted before the last frost. For best results, plant at a depth of 15cm, in late summer or autumn.
