Bulb help please

Trying to pick tulips that come back fairly reliably but the bulb packs of websites don’t really tell you. I know if it says species or Darwin for example I believe they are more perennial but how can I tell otherwise? I like queen of night and Paul schler and slawa and burnt sugar? I bought copper something last year too xxx any help and advice please? Xxx

    A quick internet search seems to indicate that both of those in the picture are Darwin hybrids, but at Lidl prices I wouldn't worry too much if they turn out not to be perennial.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
