When the air begins to get cooler, and the leaves start to fall
from the trees, most people immediately think of storing the
gardening supplies for the winter and getting ready to bundle
up. But Wait! Before packing away your gardening equipment,
don't forget to pick up some tulip bulbs to plant in your
garden. Fall is the perfect time for planting tulip bulbs.
Tulip bulbs are easily the most recognizable bulb flower in the
world today. Most people think first of a tulip, when they are
asked to name a flower bulb. Tulips are easy to grow, and
require very little care, which is one of the reasons that they
are so popular.
There is a very large variety in the color selection of tulip
bulbs. The colors of tulips typically follow the color trends
that are generally popular. Right now, pastel tulips are
extremely popular color choices. The most popular tulip color
has always been, and remains to be red. However, red is followed
closely by yellow as the second most popular color.
Of course, you can find tulips in a variety of color as there
are over 3500 varieties of tulips. You can purchase traditional
tulip bulbs as well as fancy bulbs, which have a feathered,
frilly petal. You can find tulips in solid colors as well as
striped petals, or variegated colors.
You can purchase tulip bulbs that are early bloomers, maturing
early in the springtime, or you can find tulips that will bloom
later. So you can plan your bulb flowers so that you will
consistently have flower blooms all spring, until your
perennials begin blooming. Tulips come in tall varieties as well
as shorter varieties, this can be important when you are
planning a garden design. As well, you will have a choice
between single blooming tulips and double bloomers.
With so much variety and selection, it is no doubt why tulip
bulbs are such popular flowers. Coupled with the excellent
selection and the ease of care and planting for tulips, they
make an excellent addition to any garden design.
