The flowers of Darwin tulips are amongst the largest tulip flowers. With their bright colours, perfect shape and solid stems they are perfect as cut flowers. Flowering occurs in April.
Plant the bulbs from October through to December, the pointed end facing upwards, 15cm deep and 15cm apart. Water just after planting, then regularly through the growing period, best in the evening after the sun has set.
