In Dutch this tulip also goes by the name Bostulp, tulip of the woods. Not surprisingly, as sylvestris is Latin for ‘growing in the woods’. A very happy tulip that may bloom for years, especially when planted not too far under trees. In my experience the best way to make it come back over and over again, is to ensure the tulip has sunlight at least half of the day. Its appearance may seem a little shy, with its butts hanging down elegantly. With time, though, it gains confidence and develops into a proud flower with a strong presence and bright yellow flowers.
If you're looking for a simple tulip that will bloom every year, then go for this tulip, recommends Jacqueline van der Kloet in her book. It is one of the few plants that looks particularly pretty in combination with Primula elatior.

Planting and caring for tulip bulbs

Plant tulip bulbs in autumn in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Leave around 8 to 10 cm between the bulbs.

Plant tulips in groups for a colourful and natural effect. They are also ideal for containers and make wonderful cut flowers. Allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy.

Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for tulip bulbs.

You can order tulip bulbs from us from early spring onwards for the following planting season. We deliver the bulbs in autumn so they arrive at the right time for planting.

Flowering time varies by variety. By combining early, mid-season and late-flowering tulips, you can enjoy tulips in bloom for much of the spring.

That depends on the effect you want to create. In our range, you can choose from shorter and taller tulips, cut-flower tulips, tulips for pots and a variety of tulip mixes.

We supply our tulips in the largest bulb size and with a flowering guarantee. High-quality bulbs give the tulip a strong starting point for growth and flowering.

It depends on the variety. Some tulips are reliable perennial bloomers and can perform well for several years, while others are mainly planted for their first spring display. Check the characteristics of the individual variety when choosing.

Yes. Combining early, mid-season and late-flowering varieties can extend the flowering period and bring colour to the garden throughout a larger part of spring.
