Otherwise known as the ‘woodland’ tulip, ‘Sylvestris’ is the original native tulip – as such, it can be relied upon to flourish with minimal input. Sweetly scented, canary yellow blooms are streaked with faint brushstrokes of dark green. Beginning as refined, pointed buds with elegantly curling tips, the petals open during the day to catch the sun’s rays.

Tolerant of dappled shade and a range of soil conditions, the versatile Tulip Species ‘Sylvestris’ is suitable for containers, rockeries, and borders. This wild variety is exceptional for naturalising amongst lawns, orchards, under shrubs, and around woodland edges, where it will multiply with abandon.

Like the lively country music of the same name, Tulip ‘Honky Tonk’ is an upbeat, sprightly tulip to put a spring in your step. Flutes of cheerful yellow blooms are blushed with soft pink, opening in the warmth of spring sunshine, and closing to a neat point by night. This Species variety multiplies well and is ideal for naturalising amongst grass, with its green-blue foliage featuring a delicately waved edge.

A compact habit means these blooms are equally suited to brightening containers and edging borders. The RHS have honoured tulipa ‘Honky Tonk’ with an Award of Garden Merit, the seal of approval for garden performance.

Crown Tulip ‘Negita’ produces deep plum-purple blooms with a rich velvety finish, creating a dramatic and luxurious spring display. The intense colouring of tulip ‘Negita’ brings depth, contrast, and a sense of mystery to borders, containers, and feature planting schemes, where its elegant upright form stands out beautifully among lighter companion flowers.

Bold yet refined, this striking variety flowers on strong stems through spring and adds a sophisticated touch to both contemporary and classic garden designs.
