The flowers are large, cupped, with the center of the petals usually colored black or another dark color, creating a very noticeable eye.

Care: Growing tulips is simple: it is a flower that does not require much care. The choice is yours whether to plant them in the garden or in pots on the balcony: the important thing is to choose a place that is fairly sunny but not excessively windy so as not to break the stems.

Bury the tulip bulbs in the ground about 10-20 centimeters deep and at a distance of about 15-20 centimeters from each other.
