 offers you Tulips, of course! Tulips add an exciting broad range of rich bright color in all different shapes and sizes for your garden. Flowering as early as April and can continue to flower as late as June. Perfect for adding color and interest to rock gardens, borders or beds.
Tulips were introduced into Europe from Turkey in 1554 and have figured prominently in floral history ever since. While the fabulous prices paid for a single bulb during Holland's famous 17th century "tulipmania" have never been equaled, there continues to be a strong commitment on the part of growers to create new kinds of hybrids of outstanding merit.
The best time to plant bulbs is late fall, between the period when the weather cools (so the bulbs won't start to grow) and a few weeks before the ground starts to freeze (so that the bulbs can form roots to give them the nourishment they need to bloom well in the spring). This is usually right after the first hard frost in most areas. Midseason Triumph Tulips are excellent for pot forcing during the winter months.
