Tulip
A tulip is a flowering plant in the genus Tulipa. Tulips are perennials from bulbs. They originate from mountainous areas with temperate climates and need a period of cool dormancy. They do best in climates with long cool springs and early summers, but they are often grown as spring blooming annual plantings in warmer areas of the world.

The Tulip 'Mixed Colors', 'Tulipa rembrandt', a fall planted bulb, are named for the Dutch painter Rembrandt. The blooms are an assortment of colors with beautiful 'paint splashes' of color across the petals. Not one of these tulips is the same leaving an unique fingerprint on your garden. The flowers are long-lasting and set atop of tall, strong stems. Rembrandt tulips bloom in early to mid-spring and they are good for cut flowers, beds, and borders. These tulips are a must-see with their unique color blends.
Tulip bulbs are typically planted in late summer and fall, normally from 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8 in.) deep, depending on the type planted, in well draining soils. Drainage may be considered as the chief means of success in the cultivation of these showy spring flowers. The soil they like best is well-rotted turf cut from pasture land and mixed with a moderate amount of sand, but they will thrive in any ground that is well drained. The bulbs should be planted during October and November about 3 in. deep and 5 in. apart, either in lines or groups, and they retain their bloom longest in a shady situation. As soon as the leaves begin to decay the bulbs may be taken up, dried, and stored away, keeping the colours separate.
For pot-culture the single varieties are best. Put three bulbs in a 5-in. pot and six in a 6-in. one, and treat in the same manner as the Hyacinth. They may, if desired, be forced as soon as the shoots appear. When required to fill vases, etc., it is a good plan to grow them in shallow boxes, and transfer them when in flower to the vases or baskets. By this method exactitude of height and colouring is ensured.
Species Tulips are different from the hybridized garden tulips, seen in gardens world wide, in that they are less widely grown—and known—than the garden hybrids. You do not have to buy species tulips new every year to guarantee flowers. Plant the bulbs in the right place and they will re-bloom year after year with colorful flowers, and, in time, may even increase by themselves to form sizeable colonies.
