When it comes to tulips one of the most important things to remember is that tulips require active watering, (at least once a day) and constant fertilizing and maintenance in order to have beautiful healthy tulips similar to Amsterdam's.
Not all tulips in Amsterdam look that great. If hail or a late frost ruins them, nobody takes a picture. Plant a lot, in the sun, and protect against slugs.
Actually, the Amsterdam tulip is differentiated by other flowers because it is like a bulb plant producing the brightly coloured flower that is shaped like an upside down bell.
If you want your tulips to look like tulips from Amsterdam, then you should 1st, plant your tulips in full sun. Also, make sure you have a great, nutrient rich soil. This will allow a healthy and bright flowering tulip.
