Want a new take on tulips? Bring these beautiful bulbs to life by combining them with complementary plants, says Hazel Sillver

TULIPS are often planted alone en masse, and while this can be very effective in containers – pots of bridal white tulips, for instance, make a fabulous first impression when positioned beside the front door – borders filled with huge drifts of nothing but tulips can look a bit old fashioned. So perhaps it’s time to shake things up a bit, and the easiest way to do so is by pairing your tulips with other spring plants. Pick the right partners and you will give them a new lease of life.
