In their native habitats (ranging from Central Asia to the Mediterranean basin) Tulips are subject to both long, cold winters and hot, bone-dry summers; they adapted to survive these conditions by returning to dormancy after a spring season of active growth and flower. The cultivation of Tulips goes back over 1,000 years and the 14th century Ottomans are generally credited with the development of Tulipa as a garden plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe conditions in most North American gardens don't much resemble the climates in which Tulips evolved, and most modern cultivars are best grown as annuals - planted in the fall, enjoyed the following spring and then replaced. There are several groups, however, that do offer strong multi-year performance. Selections from the Kaufmanniana, Fosteriana, Greigii, and Darwin Hybrid groups are generally considered the most perennial and our Tulip growing guide includes information on the growing practices that are most conducive to repeat performance. In addition to these groups of garden varieties, there are less-hybridized varieties referred to as Species Tulips or Botanical Tulips. Species Tulips are the closest contemporary analogs to the original, \"wild\" tulip and are the most perennial of all commercially available varieties. They are generally smaller and more demure than the more highly-bred forms; some Tulip connoisseurs consider them the most attractive and garden-worthy of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer, in most years, more than 100 Tulip varieties, each chosen on the basis of its garden merits. Our descriptions indicate, whenever possible, the group to which the variety belongs and whether the variety is considered an \u003cem\u003eEarly, Midseason,\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eLate\u003c\/em\u003e Bloomer. These designations are relative - \u003cem\u003eEarly,\u003c\/em\u003e here in Connecticut, means April, \u003cem\u003eLate \u003c\/em\u003emeans May, and \u003cem\u003eMidseason\u003c\/em\u003e means somewhere in between. Employing varieties from across this spectrum will yield the longest possible season of bloom and the longer one has Tulips in flower, we think you'll agree, the better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information on Tulip care, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"72 bulbs","offer_id":48333539967129,"sku":"0971615-F","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/971615.jpg?v=1785354828","url":"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/products\/watercolor-tulip-collection","provider":"White Flower Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
