Gardeners love these regal, reliable performers. Darwin hybrid tulips sprout tall, sturdy stems that support huge, classically shaped blooms. They are perfect for just about any landscaping purpose, whether it's adding grandeur to a garden, beautifying a border or planting them en masse to create an unforgettable expanse of splendour. Their large, richly hued blooms and long stems make them ideal for cut-flower arrangements. The vagaries of spring weather don't bother the plants, and their blooms tolerate heat well. Plant them in a sunny location with well-drained soil, and you can expect two or three years of sizable flowers. Darwin hybrids are often referred to as "perennial tulips".
