Tulip Mixtures now available, selected individual varieties from next week.
Tulip bulbs are not only versatile but spectacular in both the array of colours available and their distinctive flower forms. With dwarf types for pot work and rockeries, doubles and singles for Spring beds and open areas, while taller species such as darwin, lily, parrot and triumph are perfect for Spring borders and landscaping. Their versatility and beautiful flowers are some of the many reasons why tulip bulbs are such a popular flower to plant.
Generally, tulips prefer to be planted in full sun, but some varieties may tolerate partial shade areas. To ensure optimal growth and flowering, it's recommended to plant them in an area with sunlight exposure for at least 6 hours per day.
There are more than 3000 different varieties and 150 different species of tulips. Three of the most popular types available at Boston Bulbs Wholesale are Darwin Hybrids, Parrot, and Triumph.
Tulip bulbs can be planted in groups. They tend to display their best when planted in groups of around 10. Planting them in clusters not only creates a more impactful display of colour but also maximises garden space.
They thrive in soil that is loose, well-drained, and has a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. This ideal soil environment provides the perfect conditions for tulips to reach their full potential.
