Darwin Hybrids are amongst the tallest tulips with large, extravagant single flowers around 15 cms across. They first appear as perfectly formed, pyramid-shaped buds in a wide variety of rich colours and colour combinations before opening to elegant, urn shaped blooms.
They flower late, in late spring, go very well in borders, pots planters and tubs and make excellent cut flowers.
Their gorgeous, lusterous colours add massive impact and they are particularly good at naturalising e.g. returning year after year without any extra input from the gardener.
This is because they're a cross breed between old Darwin and Fosteriana Tulips, which also naturalise extremely well.
