The Tulip is truly an extraordinary flower. With a past steeped in romance, it has been a muse for art, poetry and passion. The Tulip has obsessed nations, taking flower power to the extreme, and lives up to its title of Queen of Bulbs. Their spectacular spring show has made them popular for hundreds of years. Tulips were revered as the symbol of the Royal Court of Turkey as early as the 1500’s. Arriving in the Netherlands in the early 1600’s and they turned heads wherever they went. In 1637 a single bulb of the Tulip ‘Semper Augustus’ was more valuable than the most expensive house in Amsterdam. Today they still turn heads and are loved the world over - though now they are now affordable for the average gardener!

Originating on the mountainous slopes of Turkey, the Tulip is tougher than you think and definitely worth a grow. Don’t forget, all our bulbs are pre cooled so all you need to do is plant them in a sunny spot and keep them watered, then enjoy the blooms come spring.
