Single Late Tulips

Ranked #8,097 in Home & Garden, #102,978 overall

Tall Late Flowering Single Tulips

Like Single Early Tulips, Single Late Tulips have elegant single flowers in a rainbow of colors. Unlike them, they are tall - about 30" (75cm) - and not quite as wind resistant. But then they flower later, in late April and May, when there is less of it about. They are extremely popular.

They are a combination of four obsolete tulip classes: Darwin, Cottage, Scheeper and Breeder, and they are now the oldest group of cultivated tulips.

    Yet, another great lens about one of my favorite types of tulips. I really love the way they are so simple in their beauty.
