Description
The Darwin Hybrid Tulip 'World's Favourite' is a variety with large intensely bicoloured cup-shaped flowers, in scarlet red edged with golden yellow. Belonging to the line of remarkable Darwin hybrids, this vigorous tulip offers flowers with strong stems, resistant to bad weather, which bloom in the heart of spring. It is sculptural in borders and an exceptional cut flower.
The Darwin Hybrid Tulip 'World's Favourite' belongs to the lily family. Of horticultural origin, registered in 1998 in the Netherlands, it is currently classified in Division 4. The main characteristics of Darwin hybrid tulips are large, oval single flowers appearing in the middle of the season, carried by long stems resistant to bad weather. Tulips in this group are the most cultivated for the cut flower trade. 'World's Favourite' is a tall variety; it will reach a height of 55 to 60 cm when in bloom, and its fully open corollas measure 12 to 15 cm in diameter. Perched on strong stems, well above the broadly lanceolate leaves, the large cups are initially elongated and elegant before opening widely. Their colour is enhanced by the thick texture of the petals. Flowering takes place in the middle of the tulip season, and each flower lives for several days before fading.
The 'Woeld's Favourite' tulip stands out in large borders and bouquets. Its shades harmonise with tulips in bright yellow or orange to create a dynamic ensemble. It accompanies the flowering of spring bulbs such as daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths, or is associated with lady's mantle, Corsican hellebores, and spurges whose tangy shades form a lively mix with the tulip's fiery colour. In borders, rockeries, and flower beds, or pots and containers, its tall stature and delicate colour add a touch of elegance and refinement to compositions. To prolong its vase life, use a small amount of water, just enough to cover the bottom, and if the tulips open too quickly, add two to three ice cubes to the vase each day.

Planting and care
Plant the World's Favourite tulip bulbs from October to mid-December for spring flowering, in full sun or possibly in partial shade, in a sheltered spot. Tulips appreciate rich, well-drained soils and can tolerate dry soils in summer. If your soil is very clayey, incorporate some sand into the soil before planting or place a little gravel at the bottom of the planting hole.
Work the soil deeply and remove unwanted weeds or rocks. Dig a hole using a bulb planter and bury the bulbs, pointed end up, at two to three times their height. Space the bulbs about 10 cm apart. Bulbs can be planted individually or in groups of 5 to 10 for a beautiful colour effect. You can place them one by one on the ground or 'broadcast' them on the ground for a more natural effect in flower beds. Lightly water after planting.
For pot planting, provide drainage at the bottom of the pot (clay balls or gravel) and then place the bulbs in a mixture of potting soil, topsoil, and a little sand. Add a small amount of compost at flowering time.
Tulips require little maintenance. Water in spring if necessary. Remove faded flowers to avoid exhausting the bulb. After flowering, let the foliage die naturally and only cut it when it turns yellow, to promote the accumulation of new reserves in the bulb.
Unlike botanical tulips, large-flowered tulips will degenerate after 2 to 3 years if left in the ground. You can choose to leave them in place and renew them regularly. If you want to extend the flowering period, dig up the bulbs when the foliage is dry. Remove the soil around the bulbs and then store them in a cool, dry, dark place. Plant them again in the following autumn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
