Lily Flowering Tulips
Unique among blooms, the Lily Flowering tulips are defined by their pointed petals. These flowers will close tightly during the cool evening temperatures but as the sun rises, their petals will begin to open dramatically as the weather warms – with some varieties appearing almost star shaped when viewed from above. The older varieties in the Lily Flowering grouping are century old and bear some resemblance to the original Turkish tulips while the newer varieties (Seattle and MoneyMaker) are some of the longest lasting blooms each spring at RoozenGaarde. These tulips look almost wild when planted in large garden plantings; they also make an elegant looking arrangement when used as fresh cut flowers.
Tulips
Originating in the foothills of Central Europe, tulips were brought to Western Europe in the 16th century and soon became synonymous with the Dutch culture and one of the world's most popular flowers. Tulips look best when grouped into larger sized garden plantings or pots and containers – although they also present a spectacular display when blooming in our enormous Skagit Valley fields!
Tulip bulbs should be planted during the fall months so that they can flower in the spring. Bloom dates will mostly depend upon the local climate, but exposure to sun and water will also influence timing. These flowers do not require extensive sunlight and will bloom when planted in fully shaded areas. Tulips will typically produce a single flower per bulb, but some varieties will have multiple blooms. Great as a garden flower or cut and placed in a vase, tulips are known to be a declaration of love!
