    When you want to add some excitement to your spring flowering bulb display, plant fringed tulips. They all have a fringe (finely incised edges) at the top of the flowers and are unique.

    'Curly Sue' is a great one to grow. Gives a "pop of color" among the spring flowers. Looks wonderful in the sun and glows with the sun shining through it.
