The flower of the tulip is usually formed in July. Cutting a bulb open in the fall, it is easy to see the entire flower. Our flowers travel well and will survive many hours without water. When you arrive home, just re-cut the ends of the stems and place in clean cold water. Even very limp flowers will revive.
Gardening is great exercise and a good family project.

They will take great pride in the flowers in the spring when they bloom. With every bulb order placed you receive free, a bulb planting guide with all our planting and care tips.
