Tulips are the indispensable blooms of the spring garden, as they bring it to life! They 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 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. Tulip descriptions can become quite technical, as they are grouped into 15 different divisions, describing the petals, stamens, and leaves in detail. Let's just enjoy them for what they are - an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Plant several different varieties of tulips throughout the garden to extend the blooming time. Fun Fact: It typically takes about six years to grow a tulip from seed to flower. This measured tulip mixture, or "blend", consists of several varieties of Flag tulips, which compliment each other perfectly. They are classified as 'triumph tulips.' However, the name does them no justice, and the colors remind us of Easter colors, hence the name "Easter Basket Mixture." The blooms are large, angular cup-shaped, and brightly colored on sturdy stems, withstanding wind and rain. We picked the best varieties to make up this Easter Basket look.
