Enjoy colourful tulip blooms all season long
Tulips are well known as burst of variety and colour in the spring.
They are easy to grow and provide beautiful focal points and borders in your garden as well as a stunning cut flower.
Why not maximize the amount of tulips next spring by making sure to plant bulbs that will bloom in Early, Mid and Late spring. The earliest ones open just after the crocuses; the late ones flower right before the peonies; and many others bloom in between.
Mixing in the combination of tulips in the same place will ensure you have a continuous amount of beauty in your garden all spring. Each type of tulip has its own special beauty and it’s fun to get to know them all.
By planting varieties from each of the different bloom times, you can have tulips flowering for six weeks or more every spring. Here are a few of our suggestions:
