Tulips are beautiful spring-blooming plants that grow from bulbs. There are hundreds of different kinds of tulips. Here is how to plant and tend them for success.
Tulips also flower at different times from early, mid to late spring—depending on the variety. That means you can enjoy their blooms all season long. But, when exactly should you plant tulips?
Tulipa gesneriana, the Didier's tulip [2] or garden tulip, is a species of plant in the lily family, cultivated as an ornamental in many countries because of its large, showy flowers. This tall, late-blooming species has a single blooming flower and linear or broadly lanceolate leaves.
Tulips are perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes that bloom in spring and die back after flowering to an underground storage bulb. Depending on the species, tulip plants can be between 10 and 70 cm (4 and 28 inches) high. [citation needed] Tulip stems have few leaves.
The plant grows to a height of 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm). It flowers during the spring season. [11] [12] The following cultivars have received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. All are relatively small, with narrow pointed tepals, often bi-coloured. 'Cynthia' [13] (outsides pink edged pale yellow, insides pale yellow)
