If you want to enjoy the blooming bulbs in spring, you need to act in time. Autumn is the moment to plant (spring-flowering) 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-flowering bulbs. If you do it right, you can enjoy flowering bulbs in your garden for months.
Plant the tulips with the pointed side up at about 10 cm depth 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 more than 100 ha. They are divided into different groups. This classification arose when, especially Dutch, growers brought various forms to the market over the centuries. These forms are categorized into a classification system of 15 groups, where shape, origin, and flowering time are determining factors (almost all varieties are of Dutch origin).
