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 ‘Sorbet’ flowers in late spring, producing cup shaped creamy flowers, streaked with red. For continual flowering, plant a variety of tulips that grow at a range of different flowering times. Plant Tulipa ‘Sorbet’ bulbs at a depth of 15cm, in late summer or autumn.
