• Tulip Package BIO - Surprise yourself (or someone else) with this beautiful tulip package: 5 different types of tulips, each with their own color and charm.

Different types of tulips

Tulips are so beloved in our Dutch gardens for good reason. You can truly go in all directions with these bulbs: from the very classic to the delightfully playful and colorful. There's always a tulip variety that perfectly suits your vision. Botanical tulips, late bloomers, varieties with multiple flowers per bulb – they all have their own unique charm and will make your garden truly come alive in spring. Tulips usually bloom for about two weeks, resulting in an intense but short-lived display of color.

Botanical tulips

Do you love that natural, slightly wild look? Then botanical tulips are perfect for you. These compact tulips bloom early and are perfect for planting among other plants, in pots, or along paths. They're real hardy plants and come back year after year. What's more, they reproduce naturally, so you'll get more every year.

Late blooming tulips

Late-blooming tulips do the exact opposite: they keep the show going after other spring bloomers have finished. Handy, isn't it? This way you can enjoy all those beautiful colors for much longer.

Multi-flowered tulips

Multi-flowered tulips are real showoffs. Multiple flowers emerge from a single bulb, creating a full, rich look. Combine different varieties and you can truly play with colors and blooming times. This way, you'll always have something new to admire in your garden from early March until well into May.

Fortunately, most tulips aren't too picky. They do enjoy sun and well-draining soil, but they also thrive in partial shade. You can simply plant them in your border, but also in containers and pots. You can even enjoy them on your balcony. Plant the bulbs in the fall before the first frost, so they can flourish in the spring. And did you know that tulips also make fantastic cut flowers? Their sturdy stems make it easy to pick a bunch for indoors. Tulip bulbs don't need to be replanted every year, as they can bloom for years.

Fun fact: the very first tulip bulbs in the Netherlands were planted in the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden. That was the beginning of our tulip tradition, which is now an indispensable part of Dutch gardens. And now, all of Europe enjoys growing them.

Whatever you choose – botanical tulips, late bloomers, multi-flowering varieties, or simply a cheerful mix of everything – tulips are guaranteed to bring atmosphere and cheer to your garden. Ordering tulip bulbs is incredibly easy, and with a little care, you can enjoy this colorful display every spring. This way, you can transform your garden, balcony, or patio into a true floral feast that will bring you joy every day.

Tips for planting tulip bulbs, including potted plants

1. Planting tulip bulbs : Plant tulip bulbs in the fall, ideally before early December, so they have enough time to establish roots before the ground freezes. Tulip bulbs differ from other flower bulbs in their smooth, rounded shape, which is characteristic of their rich history in the Netherlands and Turkey.
2. Location : Choose a sunny spot in the garden, such as a border, where the tulips will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Sufficient sunlight is essential for good growth and flowering; too much shade will reduce the tulips' flowering potential.
3. Depth and spacing : Plant the bulbs about 10-15 cm deep, keeping 10-15 cm between each bulb. Tulip bulbs can be planted in borders or in pots. When planting in pots, ensure good drainage and place the pot in a sheltered, sunny spot.
4. Watering : Water after planting to encourage root growth, but avoid overwatering. Provide extra water in spring during dry spells to support growth and flowering.
5. Covering : Cover the planted tulip bulbs with a layer of mulch or wood chips to protect them from frost in winter.
6. Let the leaves die back : After flowering, let the leaves die back completely before removing them. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following year and ensures healthy flowering.
7. Growing in pots and borders : Tulip bulbs are excellent for growing in both pots and borders, which creates a colourful and playful garden layout.
