Tulips for as far as the eye can see!
.
Wish you had a tulip garden? You don’t need hundreds planted to enjoy their spring beauty. Use our planting guide to get started—or learn how to make your tulips the healthiest beauties they can be (your neighbors will be asking what your secret is!) See our guide, plus more about flowering bulbs by clicking the link in our bio. (bookmark for fall planting!)
.
Zones: 3-8; Tulips require 14 to 15 weeks of winter temperatures below 48 degrees to perform, faring best when springs are long and balmy with temperatures between 45 and 60 degrees. Tip: See our video from yesterday to see them blooming now at Filoli!
.
Bloom time: Varieties available with different bloom times from early to late spring.
.
Integrate tulips with spring-blooming perennials in herbaceous borders.
.
Tulips also play well with other bulbs, such as late-blooming daffodils, hyacinths and crocus.
.
Watering: Water when planted, but don’t water again until foliage appears. Bulbs don’t like wet feet.
.
Pruning: Deadhead tulip flowers after the petals have dropped. After flowering, the plant will continue to grow and store nutrients for next year, so leave the foliage intact until it has completely died back.

Arranged alphabetically, 2,300 tulip varieties are planted every year for display to the public between April 6 and May 16. Photo by robcardillophoto
