VAN ZYVERDEN Tulips Bulbs Little Beauty (Set of 25)

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 containers. Flowers are upward facing, with linear to lance shaped green leaves on the stems. An incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Plant several different varieties of tulips throughout the garden to extend blooming time. These tulips are also know as specie tulips. They are fairly short in stature, which makes them ideal as accents or planted in containers. Little Beauty changes color as it matures. It starts out cherry red on the outside, to a zone of white and slate blue in the center. Each bulb produces several buds. Blooms will open on sunny days but reclose at night. Perfect companion to our blue Muscari. 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.
