Amazon, a planting of this remarkable tulip resembles a flock of tropical birds. Large flowers with arching orange petals that look as though they have been dipped in yellow paint, flutter over purple-striped foliage. When the sun hits these dramatic wild tulips, they glow.

Plant them in unexpected places, as if they had appeared there casually: beneath shrubs and light trees, in all sorts of places where these cheerful, willing bulbs will grow. In pots, their large flowers and dramatic foliage make a spectacular display. Here in Amsterdam it starts to bloom in early April. Height 40cm.

Suggestion: Place individual plants to rise up through a carpet of starry blue flowered Anemones to create a spontaneous, natural look.
