VAN ZYVERDEN Tulips Bulbs Blue Heron (Set of 12)

Tulips are unique in range of size, shape and bold color found in almost every color spectrum that only tulips provide. Tulips are good for a wide range of plantings, are excellent in the rock garden, in formal beds, as elegant cut flowers, and for containers. Flowers are upward facing, with linear to lance shaped green leaves on the stem. An incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Plant several different varieties of tulips throughout the garden to extend the blooming time. What makes this mixture so unique is the bulb size. We use giant sized, Mammoth, 14/+ bulbs – a size normally not commercially available. This mixture is made up of varieties of the Darwin Hybrid class, and they come in brilliantly colored blooms. These tulips are tall, traditionally shaped, and highly prized by gardeners everywhere for their strong stems and huge flowers. Bigger bulbs means bigger blooms. To ensure optimal results, allow adequate space and sunlight, plant at the appropriate depth, and feed with a well balanced fertilizer. Remove the flowers as soon as the leaves yellow. Best planted in late fall. Some gardeners treat tulips as annuals. For an informal look, plant in groups in natural swathes or bouquets. In USDA zones 8-10, refrigerate the bulbs for no less then eight weeks. In the garden, plant them before frost, but not as early as in the northern part of the country. Planting them in a lightly shaded area will keep them cool and prolong blooming.
