Mid-season Blooming Tulips
|
Features of Species or Group: |
| |
The triumph tulips now include the mendel tulips as well. The mendel tulips are named after Mendel, the monk who created the foundation for the study of genetics. Mendel tulips were produced by E. Krelage who crossed the single early Duc van Tol tulips with darwins. Outside, they bloom somewhat later than the early tulips. Mendel tulips are slender plants with stems which are often too thin. It reaches a height of 16in (40cm) and has mid-sized, slim flowers in hues of red, yellow, pink and white. It is a good flower for cutting and is very suitable for the garden. Triumph tulips are currently the most important group of tulips. They bloom somewhat later than the darwins and usualy have both larger flowers and leaves. They are sturdy plants which can attain a height of up to a half metre. They have mid-sized, robust flowers which come in a wide assortment of colours, often with a differently-coloured edge. They are pretty for the garden and for forcing. |
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. |
