VAN ZYVERDEN Tulips Bulbs Ivory Floradale (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 good 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. Ivory Floradale is a Darwin Hybrid tulip, which is known to perennialize well and perform somewhat better in the southern zones. The blooms are very large – born atop tall, sturdy stems – making for an excellent cut flower. Opens creamy, ivory yellow and matures to ivory white. Very elegant and often used at weddings. To ensure optimal results, allow adequate space, sunlight, plant at the appropriate depth, feed with a well balanced fertilizer, removing the flowers as soon as they go, but allowing the leaves to yellow before removing. Best planted late fall. Some gardeners in some areas 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.
