Used as an
annual for spring color in the parterres between
La Casa del Mar and La Casa del Sol. Can be spotted
in other areas of the formal gardens.
Showy
bulbs that bloom in early spring. Tulip heights
range from 4- 30 inches.
There are more
than 100 species of tulips. Most all require
cold winters, or chilling for 6 weeks. Plants
do best in full sun. Set bulbs out in October
or November in cool winter climates and December
or January in warmer regions. Rich, sandy
soil is ideal. Do not rely on bulbs to perform
the second year ~ even with ideal conditions.
