Tulip - Silk Road

Tulipa

This wonderful variety of tulip took us all by storm out in the fields of Holland. The pearly petals shimmered beautifully when the sun was out, and some of the flowers even transitioned into a light, enchanting pink shade. The best thing about this particular variety is that it blooms unusually long and holds up incredibly well in a vase. It’s the perfect cut tulip to use in both bouquets and other types of floral arrangements!

    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!
