Tulips are a must for every spring garden, creating colourful displays in beds, borders, containers & rockeries. These classic beauties are, of course, the perfect companions to spring bedding plants, & they make superb cut flowers too. They are the embodiment of a British spring garden, but did you know that they have their humble origins in the mountains of Kazakhstan? & did you know that in the early 17th century, when 'tulip mania' hit Holl&, prices of the recently introduced bulbs soared, some single bulbs selling for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman! Today there are literally thousands of varieties available, in a stunning array of colours & forms.
