Tulips are known for their glamorous spring flowers, in an array of colours - but some are scented, too.

Plant scented tulips where you can enjoy their heady scents and beautiful display - near a path, on a patio or next to a doorway. Or cut some blooms so that you can enjoy their fragrance indoors.

Here are three scented tulips to grow.


Tulip 'Verona'

Tulipa 'Verona' is a must-have for cut flower gardens, with a lemony scent and sumptous, peony-like flowers.
