{"title":"Lily-Flowered Tulips","description":"\u003cp\u003eLily-flowered tulips are for lovers of a refined spring display. With their pointed, recurved petals and elegant open shape, they give borders, pots and vases an airy look that feels just a little different from the classic tulip. At Blom Garden, you can choose from quality bulbs, delivered in the right planting season, with Flowering Guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics of lily-flowered tulips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can recognise lily-flowered tulips straight away by their slender flower shape. The petals taper to a point and curve outwards, giving the flower a graceful and striking open silhouette as it opens. This gives the group a slender, almost floating look. Among the different types of tulips, lily-flowered tulips often flower later in spring, in April and May, so they fit in beautifully with earlier bloomers. Compared with classic cup-shaped tulips, they look less compact and more elegant, airy and refined. Curious how they compare to other shapes?
