  The flowers appear, glowing like lit torches on the upright stems from mid May, bringing with them a dramatic flourish to the planting scheme. These are tough plants, with flowers that cope well with adverse weather conditions, so they are ideally suited to exposed positions. A tall, classic tulip, try teaming it up with the apricot-flushed pink tulip 'Menton' for a cracking combination.
  
  
• Garden care: From September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
