If you want to enjoy blooming bulbs in spring, you need to act in time. Autumn is the moment to plant (spring-blooming) bulbs, such as tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths, snowdrops, and crocuses. This way, you can enjoy a lot of color early in spring. In spring, you can start planting summer-blooming bulbs. If you do it right, you can enjoy flowering bulbs in your garden for months.
Plant the tulips with the pointed end facing up at a depth of about 10 cm and group them together (10-12 cm apart) for the best effect.
Currently, there are certainly 8000 registered tulips, of which only 23 cultivars are grown on an area of more than 100 ha. They are divided into different groups.
