Colorful intermediaries between early and late varieties

If the early tulips run out of breath at the end of April, the middle varieties will be there on time.

Spring ends with these tulips

If all signs are already pointing to summer in nature, the late tulips open their opulent flowers with pleasure in May. The following beauties of flowers use the milder weather to surpass the splendor of their predecessors:

  • Parrot tulips with fringed, slit or ruffled petals from May to June
  • Viridiflora tulips stand out in May with green, flamed flowers
  • Peony tulips with lush, double flowers in furious colors
