The tulip ‘Callahan’ offers a wonderful color transition in shades of apricot, pink, and warm caramel. Its double flowers have an almost peony-like shape and open slowly—becoming more beautiful with each passing day. It blooms spectacularly from mid to late spring and pairs beautifully with other bulb flowers like narcissus and grape hyacinths. ‘Callahan’ is also an excellent cut tulip thanks to its stem length and good vase life.

Is there anything that says “spring” more than tulips? From crisp buds to vibrant garden bouquets, tulips are a true seasonal favorite. Growing your own is easier than you might think—and with the right prep, you’ll be rewarded with stunning blooms after winter. Here’s your complete guide to growing tulip bulbs in the garden, in pots, or on a balcony.

Perennial flower bulbs

Do we have perennial flower bulbs, and how does it work?

All tulips in our assortment can bloom for multiple years if given the right conditions. Normally, we usually say that they are one-year bloomers, so if they bloom for several years, it's just a bonus. This applies to almost all tulips. No tulip is truly perennial; instead, what happens is that if you provide the tulip bulb with the right conditions, it will form a new side bulb during the flowering period, which will bloom the following year.

However, daffodils are usually recurring. They are a safer choice if you want recurring blooms. Most daffodil varieties also have the pleasant characteristic of spreading and multiplying!
