LILY FLOWERED TULIPS

Lily Flowered tulips get their name from their resemblance to lilies, with their pointed petals and the way they open when the sun is bearing down on them but close to a perfect form in the evening. They are more reminiscent of the original Ottoman tulips rather than the traditional hybridised Dutch tulips that we are so used to today. Despite their appearance these tulips are very robust. They come in a wide variety of colours perfect for any setting in your garden, they will thrive in a border, pots, containers, or bedding. One variety to note, ‘Ballerina’, with an orange scent is an excellent option for pollinators.
