Tulips In My Garden

 I love tulips and always pay attention to their height and flowering time indicated on the packaging and try to select varieties that will delight from mid-April to early June based on flowering time. 


 

Bright colors, graceful form and ease of cultivation have made tulips one of the most beloved garden flowers. I don’t remember, but one spring, fringed and double tulips appeared in my garden, planted so that each flower could be examined separately. My main goal in growing tulips is to decorate the garden. 



Tulips are fairly unpretentious plants and can tolerate any garden soil and location. I always follow the feeding and select a place for the plants. After flowering, the dying foliage of tulips is covered by hostas, dicentra, phlox and conifers growing nearby, which grow back just in time for the yellowing of the tulip foliage. 



I do not dig up tulip bulbs every year. You can leave them in one place for 2-3 years. If you do not plan to dig up tulips for several years, do not forget to mark their planting sites so as not to damage them later. 

If you have tulips growing in your garden, tell me about your experience growing them.

  1. Liebe Nadezda,

    ich mag Tulpen auch sehr gerne, sie füllen im Frühjahr, wenn die Beet noch recht kahl sind, die Lücken.

    Diesen Herbst muss ich auf jeden Fall wieder ein paar pflanzen, Deine Exemplare schauen wundervoll aus.

    Ich hoffe sehr, dass Du mit Deinem Bein Fortschritte machst. Wir hatten die ersten Junitage sehr viel Regen, aber heute strahlt endlich wieder die Sonne vom Himmel.

    Herzliche Grüße

    1. Anke, I'm glad you like my tulips. My leg is also getting better, I walk around the garden, it's nice to touch the plants.
      The weather is rainy here, it's cold at night.
      Thanks for the comment!

  2. Your tulips looks wonderful, Nadezda. I have only a wild form for tulips in my garden. The name is Tulip puchella 'Persian Pearl'. I don't need to dig them up, and they blooms every year.

    1. You're lucky to have a wild variety of tulips, Marit. It's convenient not to dig them up and know that they won't die in the winter.

  3. Tulips are indeed beautiful, Nadezda, and uniquely cheerful, somehow. I hope that one day you might be able to visit Ottawa to enjoy the annual Tulip Festival there. All the best - David

  10. Me encantan los tulipanes y como ya has visto en mi blog los tengo de distintos colores, los dejo siempre en la tierra. Estos días he visto a varios mirlos que se los llevan, esos no florecerán el año que viene. Besos.

    1. Qué lástima lo de los tulipanes, Teresa. Los mirlos no se los comen, solo arruinan los bulbos.

  11. Los he sembrado como se recomienda en Octubre (Otoño), pero nunca fueron bien, a pesar de que sabía, que estos bulbos necesitan un clima más templado, por eso mismo donde más se siembran es en la parte centro y norte de este país.
    Me encantaron los tuyos.
    Un abrazo, Esperanza.

    1. Manuel, los tulipanes se cultivan para climas fríos, ya que son originarios de los Países Bajos. Intenta plantar bulbos de tulipán en macetas grandes en otoño y colócalos en un lugar fresco, como un garaje. Florecerán en primavera. Abrazo.

  12. Hello Nadezda,
    The second image is very beautiful!
    I have tried to have some in the garden, and they even bloomed
    but I lost the bulbs, and they ended up going away with other
    roots. There are some states in Brazil where the predominance
    is German colonization, and we certainly see more tulips.
    Lately I have more native plants in the garden.
    Have a good weekend.
    Janice.
