Bulbs for a Rock Garden: To one who thinks of bulbs in terms of Darwin tulips with three-foot stems, and the modern Giant Trumpet daffodils, in the spring garden, or of gladiolus and dahlias throughout the summer months, the rock garden would seem to offer no suitable place of residence for this important group of flowers.
AS much as I like hybrid Triumph and Darwin Tulips in a formal garden setting, such as a parks department flowerbed, their performance in the average small, domestic garden is not always very good And so, given the choice at this time of year, I would much rather see smaller displays of some of the delightful, if not so spectacular, species of tulips.
The frilly flowers can't cope with non-stop damp and rain, but the beautifully-marked Darwin tulips are worth a go.
