Tulips are native to Europe, western and central Asia, and
northern Africa. They are bulb plants that emerge and flower
each spring, then go dormant by mid-summer. Tulips have been
cultivated for centuries and many hybrids have been developed.
Most tulips are cold tolerant, but the species on the following
list have been checked to ensure they would be compatible
