Looking for an answer on the exact time frame of the tulip season, we turn our attention to the Dutch motherland of tulips. Tulip season begins when the world-famous Keukenhof opens its doors in mid-March. We learned from Dutch experts how to achieve a long flowering period with the help of a clever combination of varieties. That is how it goes.
Tulip season begins in March
The best combination for a long series of flowers
It is the small, robust wild tulips that herald the tulip season in March. Magnificent varieties follow, which will delight us in April and May. Late flowering hybrids end the season in opulent splendor. For your inspiration we have put together the most beautiful types for you:
- Wild Tulips: Waterlily Tulip (Tulipa kaufmanniana), Fosteriana Tulip (Tulipa fosteriana), Dwarf Tulips (Tulipa humilis)
- Mid-Season Species: Lily Flowered Tulips, Darwin Hybrid Tulips, Triumph Tulips, Crispa Tulips,
- Late Flowering Tulips: Viridiflora Tulipa, Peony Flowering Tulips
With the exception of wild and dwarf tulips, all of the species mentioned are suitable for cut flowers to ensure a colorful tulip season in the house in the vase.
