Tulip Tulip
Tulips look best in groups, and you can plant 50 to 60 flowers together.
In flowerbeds, borders, and rockeries (low-growing wild species are particularly suitable here), they make eye-catching islands of color. The range of colors is practically legendary, from white to purple-black, from delicate edges to flamelike streaks. But tulips also make a good show in containers, pots, window-boxes, and of course in vases.Tulips tolerate rather dry soil, but need moisture in the ground when flowering. Dead flowers and seedheads should be cut back as soon as possible to half the height of the stem, to prevent formation of seeds robbing the bulb of its strength, but leaves can be left until they turn yellow. This allows the bulb to ripen fully.
A change of site helps after profuse flowering, otherwise the bulb can remain in place for years. Once leaves have died, remove bulbs and bulblets to dry out; store them in a cool, dry place until planting season in the fall.All parts of the plant are slightly poisonous. Prolonged contact can lead to so-called "tulip bulb dermatitis," with skin irritation.
