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. |

How to Plant Mid-season Blooming Tulips? |

To plant Mid-season Blooming Tulips the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Pink Impression Darwin Hybrid Tulip should be planted roughly 6-8" deep and 4-5" 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.
