Our staff have been restocking bulbs, and a few favorites have emerged! Mid–October to mid-November is the right time to plant them. Come in this weekend as they’re going fast! We have a curated collection of flowering Allium, Narcissus (daffodils), Crocus, Tulips, and more!
These tulips like full to partial sun, and well-drained soils.
Tulipa viridiflora ‘Artist’ – (pictured here) is a late-spring blooming tulip known for its unique “painterly” blooms with golden-orange petals, soft green feathering, and rosy undertones. This compact variety grows about 12″ tall and is a distinctive choice for borders, pots, and stunning bouquets! Introduced in 1947, it is still considered one of the best of its kind and has been recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Triumph Tulip, ‘Karate’ – this color-changing flower starts out yellow with blue centers, gradually transforms to a soft pink-red, and finally matures to near-white with cherry-red streaks. Like all Triumph tulips, it lasts for many years and has a classic cup shape and sturdy stems, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers and cut flowers. Of medium height, reaching up to 16″, ‘Karate’ blooms in mid-late spring.
Parrot Tulip, ‘Avignon’ – This magnificent long-stemmed French tulip produces large, elegant goblets in blends of raspberry, orange and a little green on sturdy plants. It is one of the largest parrot tulips available, and can be 24” tall. A late-spring bloomer, Avignon thrives in rich, well-drained soil and prefers full sun.
