VAN ZYVERDEN Tulips Bulbs Gavota Blend (Set of 15)

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. They can be used in nearly any garden design scheme. Flowers are upward facing, with linear to lance shaped green leaves on the stem. Let’s just enjoy them for what they are – an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Plant several different varieties of tulips throughout the garden to extend the blooming time. This tulip blend reminds us of a box of chocolates, and as Forrest Gump said, “You never know what you are going to get. ” These mid-season tulips are perfect in the garden or as a cut flower bouquet. Three splendid varieties make up this mixture: Gavota, Ronaldo, and Golden Apeldoorn. 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 they go, but allow the leaves to yellow before removing. 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.
