The photos show the flowers in bloom.

Quebec is an upright tulip with sturdy stems, each carrying a single cup-shaped flower in mid to late spring, above broad, grey-green leaves. It looks good in borders and beds, and it also grows well in pots and containers, so it suits a spring display on the patio. The flowers last well when cut.

Plant the dry bulbs in autumn with the pointed end facing upwards, about 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart. Choose a spot in full sun, or light shade if you prefer, with well-drained, fertile soil to prevent the bulbs rotting. Water in after planting. After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally so the bulb can store energy. Tulips are fully hardy and cope with British winters in the ground. Like most modern tulips they are short lived in British gardens, so expect the best display in the first spring. Quebec combines well with other spring bulbs such as alliums, muscari or late-flowering daffodils.

Bulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.
