The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively),.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTulip ‘Queen of Night’ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eis distinguished by its deep maroon-black, velvety blooms that bring a unique elegance to any spring garden. This notable mid-season variety flowers from January to February in the plains and from February to March in mountainous regions.

The soil should be well-draining, fertile, and neutral to slightly acidic, ideally dry or sandy, as tulips do not tolerate excessive moisture.

Plant bulbs in the fall, about 6 to 8 weeks before a hard frost—typically November or December in India—when soil temperatures drop below 60°F. In mild winters, bulbs should be refrigerated for around 12 weeks before planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant bulbs at least 8 inches deep, with the pointed end facing upward, loosening soil for drainage or using raised beds if necessary.
