Species tulips often have more natural-looking blooms than their hybrid relatives. Tulipa acuminata has long, pointed, flame-red petals with a yellow base. It's perfect for growing in containers on a patio, or planted in groups in a border.

For best results, grow Tulipa acuminata against a dark backdrop, to make the most of its colouring, or naturalised in short-growing grass.
