Tulips, Garden Greats

Tulipmania might have transpired nearly four hundred years ago but the spirit lives on in gardeners everywhere. This list of tulips represents a top selection that is well suited to the Australian environment. Tulips may have a reputation as ‘difficult customers’ but in most cases this is undeserved. When you buy a tulip bulb the flower is already pre-formed and ready to bloom. All you need to do is plant your tulip bulbs it into well drained soil in a sunny spot, fertilise and water occasionally then wait for your very own tulip show.
