The Tulip Garden. Growing and Collecting Species, Rare and Annual Varieties

Specialist flower grower and tulip expert Polly Nicholson showcases a unique collection of rare and covetable tulips in the beautiful English country garden of her Wiltshire home, Blacklands. In The Tulip Garden, she provides a comprehensive introduction to cultivating species, historic Dutch and English Florists' tulips, and annual garden tulips, as well as exploring the rich cultural history of this much-loved flower.
Bringing to life varieties that date back as far as the sixteenth century, Nicholson demonstrates how these treasured flowers and more modern varieties can be grown today, whether in herbaceous borders, naturalized in grass, in containers, or in the garden for cutting.
