Features of Species or Group: |
| |
Also called Cottage Tulips. There are many different
variations of colour and form. For the most part the
flowers are large with the basic shape of an egg and
are not unlike Darwins in overall appearance. |
Features of Genus: |
| |
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. Tulip species range in
height from 15-60cm (6-24in) but the greatest number
of hybrids are probably in the range of 30-40cm (12-
16in). Tulips look their best in mass plantings of one
colour but they can, of course, be mixed. They make
very good container plants and are delightful cut
flowers. Some of the most charming are the dwarf types
which do particularly well in rock gardens and are
also suitable for containers. Like daffodils, tulips
are split into a number of divisions according to
their flower form and time of flowering. |
