Tulip (Tulipa x 'Mixed Pastel') - Description

Our Monet tulips fill the seasonal gap between the low growing early tulips and the tall May flowering tulips. Intersperse them with late daffodils, or under plant them with grape hyacinths or pansies.

Tulip (Tulipa x 'Mixed Pastel') - Blooming

Tulips will bloom in March-May and come in many different colors. Generally, the bulbs require some cooling period in order to produce flowers. This cooling period usually lasts 8 to 10 weeks. The temperature should be in the low 40s to promote the best flower induction.

Tulip (Tulipa x 'Mixed Pastel') - Growth

Spring-flowering bulbous perennials. Plant height varies depending on the species. Very diverse genus. Needs differ with species, but generally grows best in full sun. Tulipa works well in a rock garden or in beds and borders.

Plant bulbs in soil twice as deep as the bulb is wide, and approx. 6 in. apart. Tulips should be planted where there is sun overhead so as not to cause them to lean towards the light.

Many would readily associate tulips with Holland; however, these flowers are not native to Northern Europe at all. Tulips were originally from Turkey, Afghanistan and Iran. They are found in the mountainous regions of those countries, which explains why they need a cold period during winter in order flower properly. Plant parts can irritate the skin upon contact.

Tulips do well with rich, sandy soil but will tolerate being planted in any good soil as long as it has fast drainage. They also require regular watering during growth and while flowering.
