Three scented tulips to grow
Discover three tulips that not only offer gorgeous flowers but wonderful scent, too.
Tulips are known for their glamorous spring flowers, in an array of colours - but some are scented, too.
Plant scented tulips where you can enjoy their heady scents and beautiful display - near a path, on a patio or next to a doorway. Or cut some blooms so that you can enjoy their fragrance indoors.
Here are three scented tulips to grow.
Tulip 'Verona'
Tulipa 'Verona' is a must-have for cut flower gardens, with a lemony scent and sumptous, peony-like flowers.
Flowers: April to May
Tulip 'Angelique'
Tulipa 'Angelique' bears double flowers that look like peonies. As an added bonus they are scented, too. One of the best tulips you can grow.
Flowers: May
Tulip 'Ballerina'
Tulipa 'Ballerina' is a much-loved favourite. It is a good choice for pots and looks good with dark coloured, purple or blue flowers.
Flowers: April to May
