Imagine your flower garden or yard accented with colorful drifts of tulip flowers!

With over a hundred species tulips and many more hybrid choices, the visual possibilities are incredible. Flowers range from small and simple, like wildflowers, to large and showy types that resemble peonies. Tulips range in size from just inches to several feet tall!

Try planting them in casual, odd-numbered sets of 7 to 17, rather than in perfectly spaced rows. For a big impact, plant in groups of the same color, or use a variety of complementary hues. You can also plant them in containers.

Tulips are easy to grow and do not require a lot of maintenance.
