Early Blooming Tulips

Features of Species or Group: |
| |
The Tulip Greigii was discovered in Turkestan in 1877
and described by Regel. He named it after S.A. Greig,
a botanist from St. Petersburg. Hybrids are presumed
to have been produced from crosses with other species.
These hybrids reach heights from 8-16in (20-40cm).
They bloom rather late, at the end of April and
beginning of May. This group of garden tulips is
glorious; as a result it has become very popular.
Wonderful colour combinations can be made by planting
them among grape hyacinths, chionodoxa and triandrus
narcissuses. Because of their large, eye-catching
flowers, their flowering period, and their height,
they are perfect for planting in gardens, borders and
rock gardens. |
Features of Genus: |
| |
There are over 100 species of tulips and many hundreds
of hybrids. Most modern garden tulips are the result
of extensive breeding programmes that began in the
late sixteenth century in Europe and are continuing to
this day. Tulips were all the rage at that time as
more and more species were introduced to Europe from
Turkey, Iran and central Asia. Tulip species range in
height from 15-60cm (6-24in) but the greatest number
of hybrids are probably in the range of 30-40cm (12-
16in). Tulips look their best in mass plantings of one
colour but they can, of course, be mixed. They make
very good container plants and are delightful cut
flowers. Some of the most charming are the dwarf types
which do particularly well in rock gardens and are
also suitable for containers. Like daffodils, tulips
are split into a number of divisions according to
their flower form and time of flowering. |

How to Plant Early Blooming Tulips? |
| |
To plant Early Blooming Tulips the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Fur Elise Greigii Tulip should be planted roughly 6-8" deep and 4-6" apart from one another.
Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.
|
When to Plant Fur Elise Greigii Tulip? |
| |
Early Blooming Tulips are normally planted fall, and most Fur Elise Greigii Tulip will begin to flower sometime in Early Spring. |
