    I grow Van Eijk tulips they’re a Darwin type. They were recommended to me as tulips that continue to flower in subsequent years. I grow in pots in the main which are emptied in the summer and repotted in Nov. I’ve had excellent results over the last 4 years.

    @Bilje My Mum in Law grew a red Tulip, I can remember them flowering for at least ten years.
    She just let them die back, didn't know what they were but could have been a 'Darwin'.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    When you mention "I grow in pots in the main which are emptied in the summer and repotted in Nov" can I ask what you do with the bulbs between the summer and November please?
