There are over 100 species of tulips and many hundreds of hybrids.

Most modern garden tulips are the result of extensive breeding programmes that began in the late sixteenth century in Europe and are continuing to this day.

Tulips were all the rage at that time as more and more species were introduced to Europe from Turkey, Iran and central Asia.

Tulips can grow up to anything from 15cm to 60cm.

Bulbs are easy to grow, provided that you stick to some essentials. Probably no other plant group gives as much variety and pleasure to the gardener with so little effort.

If you don’t have a garden, bulbs do very well in pots and containers.

The unique thing about bulbs is that they need little else but water.

Well-known spring flowering bulbs are Tulips, Daffodils, Crocuses, Hyacinths and Alliums. S

pring flowering bulbs have in common that they need to be planted some 3–4 weeks before the frost is in the ground.

They need the cold season to start their biological clock.
