Spring colour from the bulb that changed the world

From smuggled wealth hidden in the pockets of 17th-century refugees to imperial beheadings and long treks up freezing, desolate mountainsides… there's more to the humble tulip than you might think. And as the nights draw in, now is the perfect time to get planting these spring favourites.
