Triumph Tulips
The largest grouping, Triumph tulips present a traditionally shaped tulip bloom available in nearly every color possible! These varieties grow a sturdy stem and make both an excellent garden bloom as well as a fresh cut flower with a long vase life. Blooms are mid sized and heights can vary from short to tall depending on the variety. Triumph tulips were first developed by crossing Single Early tulips with some later flowering varieties. A handful of varieties are said to be fragrant, although springtime RoozenGaarde visitors can't seem to agree one way or another on this!
Tulips
Originating in the foothills of Central Europe, tulips were brought to Western Europe in the 16th century and soon became synonymous with the Dutch culture and one of the world's most popular flowers. Tulips look best when grouped into larger sized garden plantings or pots and containers – although they also present a spectacular display when blooming in our enormous Skagit Valley fields!
Tulip bulbs should be planted during the fall months so that they can flower in the spring. Bloom dates will mostly depend upon the local climate, but exposure to sun and water will also influence timing. These flowers do not require extensive sunlight and will bloom when planted in fully shaded areas. Tulips will typically produce a single flower per bulb, but some varieties will have multiple blooms. Great as a garden flower or cut and placed in a vase, tulips are known to be a declaration of love!
