Caring for tulips for lush flowering Tulips, along with crocuses, hyacinths, and hazel grouse, are the first to delight us. Red, yellow, pink, variegated buds bloom in early spring on personal plots, cottages and gardens. But not all gardeners enjoy a lush and bright carpet. Sometimes there is simply no flowering. In this article we will look in detail at why tulips do not bloom. The plants are unpretentious and do not require special attention. But some rules still need to be followed. It is precisely because of the violation of the cultivation technique that there is no flowering in the spring.
Reasons Sometimes you can see the following picture: blooming tulips interspersed with empty clearings. Not all plants bloomed. Some have produced flower stalks, but the flowers are small. Frequent causes of non-flowering: 1. Poorly chosen planting material. In the same year, only the large bulb blooms. Small - for the next one. Damage cannot be ruled out. The gardener did not notice them under the scales and buried the initially diseased tulip in the ground. 2. The plant does not have enough sunlight. Tulips love the sun. Hidden in the dense shade of trees, they do not want to bloom. 3. Spring flowers are planted in a place blown by cold and strong winds. This problem is especially relevant in Russia. The plant likes quiet areas, protected from gusts. 4. Planted in the ground late or early. Weather anomalies disrupt flower growing deadlines. In the conditions of a long warm autumn, the bulb produces a sprout, which freezes in winter. 5. Excavation deadlines were not met. What to do? Faded plants must be removed from the ground in a timely manner. Almost the entire summer season, the bulbs rest. If you delay digging, the tulip will begin a new development cycle. New roots and sprouts will appear. It is too early to carry out this procedure - the bulb will not “gain” strength. 6. Shallow or deep planting. In autumn, the bulb produces a sprout that rises almost to the very surface of the earth. This is how the plant overwinters. An insufficiently deepened tulip appears too early and freezes. To deepen it too much - the path to the sun will be long, there will be no strength left for flowering. 7. Bulbs are damaged already in the ground. In clayey, waterlogged soils, tulip flowers rot. Mice love bulbous plants - they often feast on them in the root nests of plants and bushes (the same peonies and crocuses suffer). 8. Cutting is carried out incorrectly. When cutting flowers into a bouquet, leave at least two leaves. Otherwise, there will be no flowering next year. It is very beautiful in the garden when the tulips bloom. You have to work hard for this beauty.
Planting and care Buying bulbs Today, breeders offer many variety of options– you can choose any variety you like. Planting material is classified according to analysis. In order for the tulip flower to show all its beauty in the year of planting, we buy the first selection. These are bulbs 10-14 cm in diameter. Why you should not purchase a second or third analysis: it is better to immediately evaluate the flowering; flowers will appear in the second or third year. It is not advisable to buy bulbs “from hand”, especially from strangers. Unscrupulous sellers offer “old” tulips - we will get small blooms or even deprive ourselves of beauty. Planting period: last ten days of September – early October. Focus on the climate of your region. IN middle lane– better in the second half of September. In the southern regions, in Crimea - in the first half of October. Site selection: sunny place, protected from strong gusts of wind. The soil is loose and fertile. Soil preparation: 2 weeks before planting, dig to a depth of 30 centimeters. Add fertilizer. Leave for the soil to settle a little. Depth: 3 bulbs. Place three onions in a row on the bayonet of the spatula - you will know the depth. Preparation of planting material: inspect the bulbs for damage. If it is difficult to see, you can remove the brown scales. Soak for half an hour in a disinfectant solution (Maxim, Fitosporin, potassium permanganate). Landing: strictly bottom down, slightly pressed to the ground. You don’t need to screw it in too hard, otherwise you may damage the root buds. We fill it with earth and mark the place so that in the spring we don’t forget and dig up this area again. Some sources advise placing tulips at a distance of 20-30 cm. But if we want to get a lush carpet (like in Holland), we plant it closer. It's OK. We focus specifically on our planting plan: what the flowerbed should be like. An interesting planting method: place the bulbs at a certain distance from each other on the bottom of a lattice box. Lower to desired depth. It will be easier to dig later. This method does not protect against mice, as some gardeners believe. Rodents are repelled by the smell of hazel grouse - they can be planted together with tulips. Care Growing tulips is not difficult. They need watering and weeding. During the growing season it is recommended to feed complex fertilizers for flowering plants. Water as needed. When cutting flowers into bouquets, be sure to leave two leaves. The products of photosynthesis feed the bulb and provide strength for division. After each cut, the scissors are disinfected. There is a risk of infecting plants with variegation (not to be confused with the varietal feature of a flower). Or do not cut the stems, but break them off. When the tulip fades, unscrew the head. The plant will not waste energy on producing seeds. Dormant period It is recommended to dig up tulips annually in order to: maintain variety; notice infection or damage in time; provide high temperature during rest. If you leave the bulbs in the ground, they will “go” deeper. It is increasingly difficult for such a plant to produce a peduncle. How long do tulips bloom when they are left in the soil?.. A year, two... And that’s all. How to dig and store: 1) We remove the plants when the leaves just begin to turn yellow and the stem is still dense. If you are late, the top part will fall off and the bulb will be difficult to find. The bulb is not always located directly under the stem - often the tulip “twists”. 2) It is better to use a pitchfork. A shovel can seriously damage the planting material. It is impossible to cause significant damage with a pitchfork. 3) Shake off the soil from the dug up bulbs and lay them out in the shade to dry. For 15-20 days. 4) Remove all excess (stems, leaves). We sort by analysis. We transfer to nets, boxes and store in a dry, warm place (at a temperature of 22-25 degrees). At home in the attic, attic, closet, etc. Reproduction Tulips reproduce by bulbs. During the season, babies appear around the main bulb. There may be 2-3 of them. With their help, gardeners obtain young plants. Do not expect rapid flowering from the “young growth”. This will happen in a year or two. Transplanting blooming tulips to a new location is undesirable: there is a risk of damaging the roots and disrupting flowering.
There are many tulips in this world, and they are all amazing and beautiful. We have selected varieties that are not only beautiful and unpretentious, but also commercially available.
Tulips by flowering time
Average (late April - early May)
The class includes triumph tulips and Darwin hybrids. They are distinguished by a high peduncle (up to 70 cm) and large goblet-shaped flowers of various colors. Tulip varieties of these classes are widely used not only for flower beds and forcing, but also for cutting.

Natural species and their varieties (botanical tulips)
The fourth group includes all other tulips, including species, their forms and hybrids. Very interesting Tulipa acuminata(photo at the beginning of the material), unfortunately, it is difficult to find for sale. But it is this one that is sometimes also called the “fiery or fiery” tulip due to its long, narrow, pointed petals of scarlet and yellow color.
pictured is Greig's tulip Friendly Fire
Quite an unusual tulip Greig's Friendly Fire, its flowers from afar appear to be red and white balls. This effect is achieved due to the shape of the petals.
MULTI tulips or multi-flowered tulips
Tulips that produce several flowers from one bulb are called multi-flowered. They are often sold with the mark MULTI . The official classification has not yet identified them in their own class, but some collectors and suppliers of bulbs already classify multi-flowered varieties as a separate group.
Unfortunately, multi-flowering is an unstable trait both in nature and in culture. Breeders have made a lot of effort to consolidate the manifestation of multi-flowering in modern bouquet varieties. Varieties Dekla, Malnais Princis, Saules Latvian collector Vytautas Skui reliably retain this characteristic, but most varieties degenerate quite quickly. And yet this is not a reason to refuse the pleasure of seeing this multi-flowered miracle in your garden! Just give them more attention than other tulips.

Landscape design: how to make a monochromatic flower garden
If you are interested in a flower garden in a certain color scheme, then you can take tulips from different groups and create a long-blooming monochromatic composition. For example, there are no black tulips; such a tulip only appeared in the novel by Alexandre Dumas. But you can make a “black” flower garden by collecting it from dark purple and dark lilac flowers:
- Terry early-Palmyra, Alison Bradley;
- Triumph- Black Jack, Black Star, Continental, Havran, Jackpot, Ronaldo;
- Parrots- Frozen Night, Black Parrot, Negrita Parrot, Blue Parrot;
- Fringed- Gorilla, Labrador, Black Jewel, Cuban Night, Crispion Dark, Vincent van Gogh;
- Simple late- Black Beauty, Black Horse, Café Noir, Queen of Night;
- Terry late-Black Hero, Blue Diamond.

Tulips “double effect”: what is it?
When meeting such a name on a package of bulbs, not everyone immediately understands what we are talking about. Many varieties of tulips have already “outgrown” the traditional classification and combine the characteristics of different groups. For example, a tulip Exotic Emperor. It has a white peony-like, double flower lying in a rosette of narrow, long green outer petals. This tulip simultaneously belongs to the group of early double tulips and to the group of Foster tulips.
in the photo there is a tulip of the Queensland variety
Or a tulip variety Alexandra: it belongs to the class of lily-flowered tulips, since its flower shape is classic for this group, but the edges of the petals are fringed. Based on this feature, it fits well into the fringed class.
in the photo there is a tulip variety Crispon Sweet
Such tulips can be fringed and at the same time double, multi-flowered and double, or lily-flowered; there are a lot of possible combinations. These are the wildest expectations of breeders and a very promising direction for the development of tulip mania:
- Queensland- terry-fringed. The flower is peony-shaped. Color: pink with white fringe, height 45 cm;
- Crispion Sweet - terry-fringed. Color: pink and white, height 45 cm;
- Ice Cream- densely double with an unusual bud shape and color: the outer petals are dark pink and green, in the center there is a cap of white petals.
in the photo there is a tulip of the Crispon Dark variety
To this day, fringed tulips, which were known back in the 17th century, have not lost their popularity. They have existed for the same amount of time simple flowers, which are not afraid of rain, and whose buds open magnificently under the sun's color. Typically, the height of tulips reaches an average of 30 cm, and in flower beds they are planted in the foreground in rows or individually. Various types of tulips are also used as a potted crop.
Classic red is considered the main color, but white flowers, yellow, purple and others are no less popular. Some of these species look great against the backdrop of coniferous trees, which is why we can often see spruce trees of various sizes standing proudly near a flower bed with tulips.
Varietal diversity
Many varietal specimens are bred through selection, as a result of which it is possible to purchase quite interesting flowers with an unusual touch. A variety called Miranda. Tulips differ from others in their splendor and characteristic bright colors; some even call them peony. 
Peak flowering occurs in May. Average height is approximately 55 cm. They reproduce well, so they are usually grown in parks and gardens. But Tilda are tulips that were able to win the hearts of many people with their elegant appearance, they are best grown in botanical gardens or bred in a greenhouse. 
A separate category of tulip varieties includes wild-growing ones., Greig, Foster tulips and the like. Dwarf tulips tolerate frosty winters well and can grow even in rocky gardens, as they are unpretentious. Quilling tulips look good against the background of wide leaves. When choosing bulbs, you should pay attention to when they bloom, as there are early and late ones. Each variety has its own characteristics. For example, early flowers need to be protected from frost so that their bulbs are not exposed to frost and are lost. The exquisite Louvre is a tulip that will delight you for a long time with its bright colors that look impressive in any light. 
Features of growth of different varieties of tulips
The bulb of a Fabio tulip or any other begins to wake up in early spring, but the plant will bloom depending on which category it belongs to. After the shoot appears above the ground, a month may not pass before the multi-colored rosette will show off in front of you. When a flower blooms, this is just the peak of growth. As soon as the tulip fades, it leaves behind a nest of new babies of different sizes. The dormant period usually falls in the summer, although tulips are flowers that prefer the south.
The only drawback of tulips is their short flowering period, although modern methods breeding helped to develop tulips, varieties of which will delight with their flowering for about 1.5 months. Grow these flowers near borders, in containers, but this does not apply to all varieties. That is, it is irrational to plant tall tulips in pots, as they will feel constrained in them. 
Some varieties are intended to be grown to later be cut for sale (usually medium-blooming tulips). In terms of flowering time, many varieties of tulips differ from each other, but all of them rarely get sick, since they maintain their positions even during heavy downpours and bloom earlier than many flowers.
For convenience, it was decided to divide all available species, varieties and hybrids according to the international classification into 4 groups and 15 classes.
Group I - early flowering
1st class
Simple early tulips (Single Early)
They are one of the first to bloom - at the end of April. Varieties from this group are low - up to 40 cm. The flower is 5-8 cm high, goblet-shaped. The coloring is mainly in warm colors (red and yellow). In sunny weather, their flowers open wide. Varieties of this group are good for early forcing. The reproduction rate is low.

2nd class
Terry early tulips (Double Early)
The plants are low, up to 20-35 cm (although there are exceptions), the flowers are double. They bloom 3-6 days later than the simple early ones. Flowering is quite long.
Tulips from this group are very popular among landscape designers. The fact is that due to the low stem they do not fall over and the flowers in the garden look very neat. Sufficiently large, double and densely double flowers do not fade for a long time, turning flower beds into a continuous blooming carpet. Suitable for forcing, but not for cutting. They will look best planted in pots or flowerpots in a composition with hyacinths and crocuses. They reproduce quite well.
II group medium-blooming
3rd grade
Triumph - tulips (Triumph)
The color of the flowers of tulips in this group ranges from white to dark purple; varieties with two-color colors are often found. They bloom in late April - early May, for quite a long time. The glasses of the flower never open completely into a flat cake. Resistant to wind and rain.
The plants are quite tall - 40-60 cm. Very impressive in the landscape. Good for cutting. The reproduction rate is average.
4th grade
Darwin Hybrids
The plants are very tall - 60-80 cm. The flowers are goblet-shaped, mostly pink and red, there are varieties of double color. They bloom quite early, in early May. The flowers tend to open completely and fade fairly quickly. These tulips are resistant to the variegation virus, tolerate spring frosts well, are stored for a long time when cut, and tolerate transportation well.
The leaves are wide, so they need to be planted at a distance greater than usual. The reproduction rate is high.
Group III - late bloomers
5th grade
Single Late
These are tall, up to 75 cm, and powerful plants. The flowers are large, goblet-shaped with a square base and wide, blunt-pointed petals. Color ranges from white to purple, almost black, many varieties have a two-tone color. They bloom in mid-May. Among the varieties of simple late tulips, there are multi-flowered varieties that have from 3 to 5 flowers on one peduncle. Good for cutting and forcing. They reproduce very well.
6th grade
Lily-flowered
Tulips with an unusual flower shape. Plant height is 60-75 cm. Elongated glasses with outward bending and pointed petals.
The lower part of the flower is slightly convex and all varieties have a thin “waist”. Outwardly, they are very reminiscent of a lily flower.
The color of the glass is very diverse. They bloom in the second half of May.
Lily tulips are very popular among amateur gardeners. Ideal for cutting.
The reproduction rate is low. From one onion you can get 2-3.
7th grade
Fringed
They differ from others by a spectacular fringe, which is located along the edge of the petals and looks like crystal-shaped or needle-like outgrowths. Can be different lengths. Plant height is 50-80 cm. They bloom in May.
Varieties have been bred in which these outgrowths can also be located on the back of the flower. Fringed terry varieties have also been developed. The flowers are varied in color, only dark varieties are missing.
Fringed tulips have a very strong peduncle and look good until the end of the growing season.
Good for forcing.
8th grade
Green-flowered (Viridiflora)
A distinctive feature of these tulips is green streaks, spots or stripes on outside petal They bloom in the second half of May. Plants are divided by height into low (25-30 cm) and medium (35-50 cm). Their stems are strong, the leaves are narrow, some varieties have a white stripe along the edge, which makes them attractive both before and after flowering. Green-flowered tulips are distinguished by their grace and durability. Glasses 5-7 cm high.
These tulips are spectacular when fully bloomed, when the additional color characteristic of the variety appears. They are used for cutting, but most often for landscaping in rock gardens or ornamental gardens.
9th grade
Rembrandt - tulips (Rembrandt)
Representatives of this group have variegated flower colors, but, unlike those affected by the variegation virus, they retain a constant pattern of brown, bronze, black, red, pink and purple strokes on a red, white or yellow background.
The plants are tall (65-70 cm), the flowers are large. Suitable only for growing in open ground. Currently, these are quite rare plants, although modern varieties have been tested for the presence of a virus that causes variegation in the color of the perianth lobes. True Rembrandt tulips can only be purchased in specialized farms focused on growing and breeding historical and non-industrial varieties of tulips.
10th grade
Parrots
Plants of various heights and colors, distinguished by a very exotic flower shape. The rugged, wavy, “disheveled” petals of tulips of this class resemble a ruffled tropical bird.
Flowers can also be huge in size. Color ranges from pure white to black. Plant height -40-65 cm.
They bloom late, in the second half of May, although there are also early flowering varieties in this group.
They are commonly used in garden landscaping and for cutting flowers in flower arrangements.
11th grade
Terry late (Double Late)
It unites varieties of diverse origins, characterized by large, about 10 cm in diameter, double flowers with wide rounded petals. Outwardly, they look like peony flowers; they are also called peony flowers. They bloom 8-12 days later than double ones early varieties and longer, up to 3 weeks, covering the beginning of June.
These are powerful and tall, up to 50-60 cm, plants. Flowers vary in color. Low resistance to rain and wind. Good for cutting and forcing.
Group IV - species and botanical tulips
12th grade
Kaufman tulips, their varieties and hybrids (Tulipa Kaufmanniana)
They differ in the earliest terms of flowering (sometimes already in early April). Plant height is 15-25 cm. The flowers are large, star-shaped, with protruding petals of various colors. The leaves of many tulips have purple stripes and speckles. Resistant to variegation.
13th grade
Foster's tulips, their varieties and hybrids (Tulipa fosteriana)
Tulips of this class are larger than Kaufman. Plant height is 20-30 cm, flowers are goblet or cup-shaped, very elongated (up to 12 cm in height), wide. When open, they look like stars. The color is bright, mostly red, sometimes pink and yellow. The leaves are wide, slightly wavy along the edges. They bloom later than Kaufman tulips: in late April - early May.
