One of the most popular of all spring-flowering bulbs, the tulip has a history that is as colourful as the flower itself. In the 1600s, in the heyday of "tulipomania", these blooms were rare, very expensive and considered status symbols by European aristocrats. Today, just about all of us can afford to "tiptoe through the tulips" right in our own gardens. This easy-to-use, abundantly illustrated guide tells novice and expert gardeners everything they need to know to successfully grow many exquisite varieties of tulip, from the bizarre Parrot to the classic Rembrandt.
