Kicking things off with their large, cup-shaped blooms held on short, sturdy stems, Single Early tulips are amongst the first to flower. Try combining with mid and late types to extend the display, such as Triumph, Darwin, and Lily-flowered. Tulipa 'Apricona' bears large, rose-pink flowers with soft, apricot edges, while the blooms of Tulipa 'Apricot Beauty' are a delicate peachy pink. Tulipa 'White Prince' adds luminosity, its pale-yellow flowers fading to pure white over time. Plant in fertile, well-draining soil in full sun. These tulips will rebloom best given a dry, summer dormancy, which can be achieved by lifting and storing bulbs once the foliage has died back, then replanting them in late autumn. All are hardy to between -15 C and -20 C.
