VAN ZYVERDEN Tulips Bulbs Red Shine (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. They can be used in nearly any garden design scheme. 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. Red Shine – a lily flowering tulip – has goblet-shaped flowers with pointed, out-curving, reflexed petals. The foliage is broad and greyish-green, producing gleaming red blooms. On sunny days, the flowers open completely, which gives them a lily-like look. Long lasting, graceful, and elegant. Stunning when swaying in the wind. 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, and after the leaves turn yellow. 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.
