Plants grow 35–60 cm (14–24 inches) tall and bloom mid to late season. Div. 4: Darwin hybrid – single flowers are ovoid in shape and up to 6 cm (2.5 inches) wide. Plants grow 50–70 cm (20–28 inches) tall and bloom mid to late season. This group should not be confused with older Darwin tulips, which belong in the Single Late Group below.
These are referred to as species, or botanical, tulips, and tend to be smaller plants but better at naturalising than the cultivated forms. Breeding programs have produced a wide range of tulip types, enabling blooming through a much longer season by creating early, mid- and late spring varieties.
The following is a list of tulip species and cultivars which have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [1] They are bulbous perennials, originally from sunny, open habitats in Europe and Asia.
Tulips are beautiful spring-blooming plants that grow from bulbs. There are hundreds of different kinds of tulips. Here is how to plant and tend them for success.
The taxonomy of Tulipa has always been complex and difficult for many reasons. Tulipa is a genus of the Liliaceae (lily) family, once one of the largest family of monocots, but which molecular phylogenetics has shown to be a much smaller discrete family with only 15 genera.
There are so many beautiful varieties to choose from, and our guide will help you identify each.
Tulipa hungarica is a perennial plant, [4] with a small, [5] ovoid shaped bulb that has brown papery skin (tunicate) and sessile bulbils (growing off main bulb). Meaning that it vegetativly increases from the original plants. [6] It has large glaucous (blue-grey coloured) leaves, [7] which are elliptic-lanceolate or linear-lanceolate shaped. [4]
Drawings by Jakob de Gheyn show this plant as well [19] Bulbs of Tulipa suaveolens were imported 1881 into the Netherlands, where they were hybridised with other domesticated tulips. Johannes Marius Cornelis Hoog thinks that it is one of the parent species of the horned tulip, Tulipa cornuta , (often wrongly labelled as Tulipa acuminata in the ...
