This book, illustrated with over 470 of the author's own photographs, provides a fresh vision of how to use tulips in contemporary gardens.
Having explored their rich history, Michael King describes the many ways these bulbs can contribute to the garden scene in combinations with other bulbs, perennials, shrubs and trees. Next he spotlights twenty classic tulips, detailing their characteristics, origins and potential uses. Through these, he introduces others from each of the tulip groups. Including delicately beautiful wild species as well as bold garden hybrids, his choice is of the very best tulips for use in gardens, to flower (in sequence) from early spring through to the first days of summer. A section on colour shows how to enhance tulips' effects by harmoniously co-ordinating varieties or by creating bold contrasts.
Conveying thus the full spectrum of possibilities available in today's assortment, Michael King equips you with everything you need - including guidance on growing, based on his own experience - to identify the best tulips for specific schemes and to use them effectively in your garden.
