Orange Emperor

Fosteriana Tulips
With their early blooms, bright and vivid colors, and big flowers, the Fosteriana tulips are a must for anyone looking to fill their garden with an entire season of color. Commonly known as Emperor tulips, their big flowers have uniquely shaped petals that are quite wide and very long. Flowers are colored black at the inside cusp at the bottom of the bloom while stems will generally be medium to slightly taller in height. The Emperor tulip varieties are a popular backdrop for group photos taken at RoozenGaarde during the spring.

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!
