Brighten your spring garden with the classic cup-shaped blooms of the tulip.
Tulipa gesneriana is the classic bulb behind most modern garden tulips. It grows up to 0.6 meters tall on sturdy, upright stems, making it ideal for full-sun flower beds. Planting it alongside daffodils, muscari, or hyacinths creates a vibrant spring display.
Growing this perennial plant is easy and straightforward. It prefers moderate watering, handles drought well, and flourishes outdoors in full sun. In the spring, its large red or yellow flowers attract bees and butterflies to your yard.
While its flowers are edible, the rest of the plant is toxic to humans and pets. You can easily propagate more plants over time using its underground bulbs.
