Although there are many who include the double tulips in this category, we’ve distinguished the ones with the most petals as falling into this category. Not only are the flowers absolutely spectacular with row upon row of petals, and plump buds that seem full to bursting, but many of the varieties are scented too. As for their cut-flower performance, peony-flowering tulips are as fabulous in the vase as they are in the garden – and that’s saying something! Peony-flowering Tulips are late bloomers that allow spring to go out in style, rather than with a sigh. Choose them for their showy blooms and late flowering time.
