Tulipa

Tulips, a mainstay of spring gardens, providing color from March through May, can be used in many ways in the garden and home. They can be used in rock gardens, borders, as house plants, and cut flowers. There are thousands of named varieties of tulips, in over 15 classes.
Most tulips do best in Zones 3-7. All tulips do best in full sun, but will bloom well if provided with 5-6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Propagate tulips in midsummer after the leaves wither, from the small bulbs that develop beside large ones.

	Spring 2000 A white unnamed tulip that was planted about 6 or 7 years ago and keeps going and going.
	'Angelique' Double flowering frilly pink edged with a light pink. (Double late.)
	'Blue Ribbon' As one of the rare blue tulips varieties, this is an especially prized flower. Depending on the lighting, it can have lilac undertones. Bloom is large and exquisitely shaped. (Triumph.)
	'Easter Basket Mix' Pastel mix: yellow, apricot, pink, lavender, and white with purple feathered edge. (Darwin hybrids.)
	'Queen of Night' The deep velvety maroon of the "Queen" is considered the ultimate black. (Darwin hybrid.)
