Large, clear-colored flowers and substantial stiff stems have made them favorites.  And of course, they have the great perennial qualities of all the Darwin Hybrids, returning much more dependably than other tulip bulbs.These are the most treasured, most perennial tulips of all.  Plant them once, and you'll have them for years.  They are also tall, tough, and have some of the biggest, most luscious flowers of all tulips.\u003cp\u003eNow, make no mistake: no tulip is as dependably perennial as a daffodil.  But the Darwin Hybrids are the ones most bulb growers call 'perennial.'  This means they'll return for several years, especially if you remove the fading flowers each spring.  While naturalized daffodils are 'forever', many homeowners report their Darwin Hybrid tulips are still faithfully returning after 6 to 10 seasons.  For their inexpensive price, we think that's a beautiful bargain.
