Tulips

Clean them well, let them dry for a few days and then put them in a box or paper envelope (something breathable). Label the box carefully, so that you can tell which is which in the spring. Store them in a cold place, like the garage or refrigerator. I don't believe they need to freeze, but they do need to get cold.

You might not actually need to dig your bulbs. Check your zone. They may be able to overwinter in the ground.

Flower bulb is a flower factory and underground storehouse. Flower bulbs are mostly are imported and bought from commercial sources.

The leading country to produce tulips is Holland.

Blue tulips are actually quite rare. Back in the day tulips were the rage. Almost everyone grew tulips and tulips made such a high price that murders were commited because of jealousy and greed for the best tulips. Tulips were often used with their bright colors to signify certain events. Now, tulips aren't that high priced. But the only tulip that you can get a high price for is the blue tulip.

roses are more romantic that tulips...if you ask me:)

Tulip wood (Poplar or Tulip Poplar) is the wood used in many wooden match sticks. When dry, it will burn very quickly. So quickly that you will stay warm running back and forth with wood. It is not harmful to burn- just poor firewood. A bit mixed in with hardwood is OK, but it will last about as long as tissue paper. I would not buy it, but might burn small amounts to dispose of branches from the yard, etc.

Tulips are bulbs planted in the Fall for blooming in early Spring. So yes tulips are a Spring plant, but the bulbs need to be planted outside in the Fall to allow time for the bulb to produce.

You plant tulip bulbs in the fall. During most of the winter, the bulb is dormant. Then the weather warms and the bulb starts to grow. If you are growing tulips from seed, the seeds germinate in 60-90 days but it may take 5-7 years to flower.

Tulip Poplar trees are fast-growing trees but do not have the common problems of most fast-growing trees, such as a short lifespan and weak wood.

The average lifespan of a Tulip Poplar is 200 - 300 years. However, I have read elsewhere that it can live much longer.

You can try to replant the bulbs when the petals have dropped back - plant the bulbs with the leaves still on (you can remove the flower stems), in a sunny location. Fertilize with a bulb fertilizer or bone meal.

Realize, however, that forced bulbs like this are most likely "spent" and will probably not bloom the following spring.

Yes, I would think so. Give the plant water and sunlight after it blooms until all of the leaves dry up. Then keep it in a dry place until fall and set in the ground, about 4 inches deep with the roots down.

I do warn you- tulips are not like daffodils- they do seem to make new bulbs and spread and usually die out in a few years.

If you want the tulip to be "true" (exactly like the parent) in the next generation, they you harvest the new bulbs. However, if you are working on new colors, shapes, etc. then the tulip can have seeds in a seed pod high on a stem where the flower used to be. Dispersal of the seed is by dropping on site or carry off by animals.

Tulips do best grown during cool springs and can continue to flourish throughout hot and dry summers. Be sure not to over water, for this could create the bulb to rot.

How big tulips grow will depend on the variety of tulip that is planted. Tulips can be any size from as small as four inches high, or as tall as 28 inches high.

"Yes, it is quite possible to send tulips from Pro Flowers. They have a wide range of bouquets to be sent. They are very gorgeous and would make a great gift."

When the bloom begging to wilt.

Tulips are native to southern Europe, northern Africa, Asia and Anatolia. In those or similar climates species tulips re-emerge for many years as well as spreading and reproducing naturally. Hybrid tulips in those climates might re-emerge for as many as seven or eight years, and might propagate naturally, but not as prolifically as species tulips. In other, harsher climates, many gardeners consider hybrid tulips to be annuals and re-plant them every year.

tulips like cool sunny weather with a little breeze. and some sun.

[1] It depends on whether the variety's low-growing or tall. [2] So stem height may range from 10-70 cm/4-27 in.

Petunias are complete flowers. They have both male and female sex organs in the same flower.

Before being roasted, sunflower seeds are living. They contain an embryonic plant on the inside.

No tulips do not need to be covered in a frost. They are very hearty plants and actually last longer in cooler temperatures.

Tulips are significant not only for their beauty and aesthetic appeal in gardens and floral arrangements but also for their cultural and economic impact. They play a crucial role in horticulture and the flower industry, generating substantial revenue through cultivation and sales. Moreover, tulips have historical significance, particularly during the Dutch Golden Age, symbolizing wealth and status. Their vibrant colors and variety also contribute to biodiversity and ecological health in gardens and landscapes.
