It's hard to believe that 60 years ago the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, Holland, was a hunting preserve. Today, it hosts a spring show of millions of flower bulbs in a wide array of beds and borders. This amazing public garden is a treasure trove of great gardening ideas.
Test Garden Tip: To visit, plan early. The Keukenhof is open from March to May each year.
When you visit the Keukenhof, you also get a sneak peak of new plant varieties. For example the 'Henry Hudson' tulip was introduced to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the English captain Henry Hudson sailing his Dutch vessel into New York harbor and landing on Manhattan Island. It's a bright orange species tulip, similar to the bulbs that were popular in the Netherlands when Henry Hudson arrived in America.
Only growing 8 inches tall, 'Henry Hudson' tulip makes a great container plant. It has crimped, blue-green leaves and bright yellow stamens. It looks stunning in this blue ceramic planter.
