Tulip Shopping List
Tulips are without doubt among the most popular garden flowers due to their easy care and huge impression in the spring garden when little else is in flower.

The shopping list includes only readily available tulips which provide for a long flowering period, which perennialize well (comes back), and which simply look fantastic. Included in the article is also information on vernalization (cooling), planting and care, and tulip bed design using only tulips from the shopping list.
