Description
Darwin hybrids are meant to show-off. These tall tulips with giant blooms in brilliant colors that can open to a full 6 inches (15cm) across, are the masters of display. They are also perennials, which means that you will get more than one spring showing from them. Choosing to plant a mix of these spectacular tulips will give you a varied and stunning display in your garden every spring and you will never get tired of looking at the carpet of radiant colors presented to you. You will also not run out of beautiful blooms to cut and display in your home during the spring.
We always use the best quality bulbs for this collection which means that the varieties we choose to create this look may differ from year to year. The varieties used in this collection may not be the same as the varieties pictured, and there will be a slight variation in colours.
Tulips are part of the lily family (Liliaceae), which also includes onions, garlic, and asparagus. The petals are edible and have been used as an onion substitute.
