Add bone meal, super phosphate or bulb food when planting to provide extra nutrients for better bulb performance. We often have warm periods in January or February-mulch will keep your bulbs from thinking it is time to grow during those warm periods. When selecting bulbs that will be planted together, pay attention to height and flowering time to achieve the most visually pleasant results. We will have brochures and informational sheets to assist you with selection and planting. Early bloomers will begin blooming in early March depending on location and the fickle Colorado weather.
Tulips come in the largest variety of sizes and colors, as well as blooming periods.
There are early, mid season and late tulips and tulips from 6 inches tall to over 2 feet. Earliest bloomers are Crocus, Grape Hyacinth and Snowdrops. Latest bloomers are Dutch Iris and Giant Allium. Bulbs are usually most impressive when planted in clusters for color impact. This may be a large bed or just a small cluster for a splash of spring.
