Features of Species or Group:
		These tulips are centuries old. The shape of these tulips was greatly improved by crossing them with Darwins at the beginning of this century. The first tulip with lily-shaped flowers was the yellow Tulip retroflexa; it thus became the ancestor of the later ones. In 1902 Krelage & Son crossed this cottage tulip with the Darwin tulip, 'Psyche'. This cross resulted in the satin pink tulip, 'Siren', which really caused a sensation. The flowers are elegant with their pointed petals which bow outward at the top.
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.


How to Plant Lily Flowering Tulips?
			To plant Lily Flowering Tulips the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Aladdin Lily Tulip should be planted roughly 6-8" deep and 4-6" apart from one another. Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.
When to Plant Aladdin Lily Tulip?
			Lily Flowering Tulips are normally planted fall, and most Aladdin Lily Tulip will begin to flower sometime in Late Spring.
