Beautiful planting of tulips. Where to plant tulips. Varieties of garden tulips

There were times in the history of tulips when their plantations in Holland were guarded by armed police - these flowers, a symbol of wealth and nobility, were so dear and desirable.

Their triumphal march continues to this day, although more than 350 years have passed since then. The number of varieties continues to grow, and there seems to be no end to it. We have selected only a few of them and offer three planting options.

The right satellites, like a beautiful frame, only enhance the charm of tulips. This pansies, forget-me-nots, daisies, wallflowers. When spring flowers fade, summer flowers will come to replace them.

If the beds and flower beds have to be watered a lot in the summer, the tulip bulbs cannot ripen and quickly rot. Therefore, here it is better to plant tulips in special baskets, and after flowering, remove the baskets and place them in a dry corner, where the leaves will completely wither and the bulbs can ripen.

Or another option: plant drought-tolerant flowers between them, like alyssum or pumping paniculata. These lovers of dry conditions are even useful for tulips, since in summer they draw out excess moisture, which is destructive for the latter, from the soil.

Tulips are also good with other spring-flowering bulbs.. Some gardeners like mixed plantings of bulbous plants: hyacinths and daffodils are planted between the tulips of the Triumph and Darwin hybrids groups. To ensure that they all bloom at the same time, it is better to take late-blooming trumpet daffodils. The smaller cyclamen daffodil (Narcissus cyclamenius), whose peak flowering occurs in early spring, is suitable for early varieties of Kaufman tulip.

You can plant tulips under Arguta or forsythia bushes blooming at the same time. Both simple and terry varieties feel good under them and look beautiful.

Velvety heads of monochrome pansies emphasize elegance white tulips.

"Pink Impression" tulip variety Darwin hybrids group, blooms in late April-early May.

Functions- ideal companions for tulips. Their leaves begin to grow in full force when the tulip bulbs are pulled into the soil.

Classic partners of tulips - forget-me-nots And daisies. What if you hook them up with them? carnations?

Development of tulips throughout the year

When tulip bulbs are planted in the fall, the bulb contains all the substances the plant needs next spring. initial stage active growth. It just needs to take root, and for this it is important that the soil is loose.

When a tulip blooms, the supply of nutrients in the bulb runs out, and then the opposite happens: all the above-ground green parts of the plant help form replacement bulbs, because the mother bulb dies after flowering.

That's why Tulip leaves cannot be cut until they turn completely yellow. Only then can you be sure that the nutrients for next spring have accumulated in the newly formed bulb.

And here Fading flowers need to be cut off- so that the formation of seeds does not deplete the plant.

If tulips grew in one place for a very long time and their flowering began to decline, the reason may be due to the large number of children formed. They need to be separated and planted.

Feeding tulips

As soon as the leaves appear, feed the plants with full mineral fertilizer with a high nitrogen content. The ripening of the bulbs after flowering will be supported by potassium fertilizer.

Organic fertilizer is best applied in the fall. Before planting your tulip bulbs, add a handful of bone meal to each hole.

Planting tulips under trees

On lawns or under trees, tulips can look like they are growing wild. For this purpose, small and strong species are selected so that they are not drowned out by grass, hardy so as not to freeze in winter.

It is important not to damage the flowers when mowing the grass. Tulips are planted in unshaded areas so that they can develop to their full potential.

Schemes of flower beds with tulips

Plant tulips in small groups

Tulips look much more interesting if you plant them in a flowerbed not interspersed, but in small groups, 7-10 plants of each variety.

In the first row: pansies (Viola) "Iceqeen Violett" (3) and "Roggli Berna Violett" (5), as well as yellowberry (Erysimum) "Prince Violett" (4).

Arrange by height

In order for all the flowers to be clearly visible in the flowerbed, it is necessary know the height varieties.

In our picture, against the background of a spirea bush of the "Grefsheim" variety (1), there is a Darwin hybrid "Pink Impression" 60 cm high (2), a lower early terry variety "Goya" (3), in the foreground is a Greig tulip "Perlina" (4 ), followed by hyacinth "Gipsy Queen" (5).

Prolong flowering

If you want to prolong your joy, plant different types of tulips, blooming not at the same time, but one after another. Among the wild species there are those that bloom at the end of April.

Following them, some botanical species will bloom (Foster's tulip, Greig's tulip and Kaufmann's tulip), and then varieties from the Simple Late group will bloom (mid-to-late May).

In our picture, the “Braty Queen” (2) tulips from the Simple Early group will later be replaced by the “Fantasie” (3) tulips from the Parrot group. Above them, the Lamarck serviceberry (Amelanchier lamarckii) (1) spreads its tent, and in the first row there are forget-me-nots (4).

When do the bulbs fade?

When will the tulips bloom?, daffodils and other spring bulbs, a change of scenery is coming. The resulting voids will be filled by flowering and decorative foliage plants, which in no case should displace their predecessors.

Spring bulbs form a good partnership with autumn-flowering perennials, for example sedum And autumn asters. In shady corners, the baton of flowering after daffodils will be picked up by spirea "Arguta".

Tender wild species tulips can be safely planted among curtains aubriet, ground cover sedum, thyme and other cushion-shaped plants. Firstly, they, like the inhabitants of the alpine hills, love the sun, and secondly, their narrow lanceolate leaves disappear very early.

But yellowed leaves of cultivated tulips can spoil decorative look flower beds, so it’s better to plant in the neighborhood, for example, paniculata (gypsophila).

Let's swing the paniculata - gypsophila- (Gypsophila) will cover the yellowed leaves of garden tulips with a cloud of fragrant flowers.

(Geranium) will fill the gaps after flowering bulbs: tall varieties - on ridges, low-growing ones - on an alpine hill.

Novobelgii (Aster novibelgii) begins to grow late spring, therefore ideal for tulips.

Initially, it is necessary to visualize in which part common territory tulips can be planted. Open (sunny) areas where there is no constant draft are best suited for this. Strong winds have a detrimental effect on their growth, which leads to low productivity (small buds and dull color).
In order for tulips to grow to the expected height and delight the eye with gorgeous buds, you need to take care of the quality of the planted bulbs. If damage is detected, namely a soft structure or fungal deposits, it is recommended to throw them away so as not to harm the rest of the plants in the future.
The quality of the soil is also important. In soil containing a large amount of alkaline microelements, normal growth of tulips should not be expected. They prefer “light” sandy or loamy soil, fertilized with natural organic fertilizers (humus).
If the site area is large enough– it is recommended to build separate flower beds of various shapes and plant plants that differ from each other in terms of color.
Often between buildings in the country– fits sidewalk paths and to highlight them, you can plant tulips along the length (line).
To steal the adjacent territory to an artificial pond or rock garden with shrub plantings, tulips are planted in high density in order to visually create a feeling of limitation.

Landscape design - involves the use of many planting techniques beautiful plant. Most often this is:

Combining different types of tulips in one flowerbed.
Planting one type.
Simultaneous planting of short and tall species.
In addition to tulips, other flowering plants are planted.

Planting in groups

Much nicer to look at separate groups tulips of different types, rather than turn the flowerbed into chaos. This is caused by an indifferent landing, which leads to appearance into a homogeneous mass.

The most harmonious look is the circular “color spots” of yellow, red, blue and white buds. The transition of shades is the main key to success for visual inspection.

Regular and terry.
Simple with fringed ones.
Terry and lily flowers.

Tip: a group of bulbs of the same type is planted close to each other (3-5 cm) in the amount of 10-20 pieces. Thus, during flowering, the effect of grouping (density) is achieved, and not the appearance of single and randomly planted plants.

Landing height

If the colors are distributed incorrectly relative to their height, they can overlap or obscure each other. This nuance leads to “dips” or awkward elevations of one type over another in a flowerbed.

Advice: the distribution of plants by height is implied only when they are planted on a flat ground surface, and if they are planted on an alpine hill, their height can be the same, because they are automatically adjusted due to the multi-level structure of the rock garden.

Planting according to flowering time

In cases of planting tulips of the same type, the result will be the same - several weeks of flowering, and then the flowerbed is completely empty. This is due to the short life cycle of the plant. To avoid an unpleasant nuance, it is recommended to plant your favorite flowers of different types.

All tulips can bloom in different time, which allows them to be divided into the following subgroups:

Early– the first buds appear at the end of March and continue to bloom until mid-April. They are resistant to light frosts. As a rule, the buds are small in height and medium in volume.
Average- start their blooming period from mid-April and continue to delight observers in mid-May.
Late flowering– these tulips are the most suitable for amateur gardeners, because they have the longest flowering period (from May to mid-June). One caveat - they are picky about excess moisture and excess solar radiation.

Design solution: combining tulips with other plants

To prevent the flowerbed from looking the same, you can, in addition to the already planted tulips, plant other flowers that will add contrast. Considering their short lifespan, the stems and miniature buds of ornamental plants are capable of compensating for the “loss of former abundance.”

The following are very popular:

Hyacinths.
Forget-me-nots.
Daisies.
Pansies.
Primroses.
Muscari.
Lush ferns.
Hosts.
Rhododendron.
Boxwood greens.

Flowering order of the main species:

Kaufman's tulips.
Foster's tulips.
Greig's tulips.
Early ordinary ones.
Terry early.
Darwin's Hybrids.
Tulips Triumph and Rembrandt.
Green flowering.
Late regular and terry.
Lilies and parrots.
Fringed.

Popular varieties of tulips

Regular (simple) early. This species is quite resistant to temperature changes (frost or scorching sun), and is not afraid of drafts and excessive soil moisture. The buds are goblet-shaped, and the petals are often red or yellow color. Small relative to height (23-35 cm)
Early terry. Despite its small height (about 20-25 cm), it differs from everyone else - it has a large bud, colored warm bright hues. It is because of the flower that he is quite vulnerable, because from strong wind or rain - the stem may bend or break.
Tulips Triumph. Flowers are capable of multiplying very quickly, which allows them to be grown in a flowerbed in the shortest possible time. From one “adult” full-fledged bulb, you can get up to 5 new ones at the end of the flowering season. The color range is very diverse - from snowy white to dark purple.
Darwinian hybrids. Flowers of this species tolerate light spring frosts (0 or -1°C). In terms of height, they are considered tall, because the length of the “arrow” can exceed 60 cm. The colors are multifaceted, except for the purple hue. The main flowering period is the beginning of May or early June. They are quite capricious in care - due to large buds, which can exceed 10 cm in volume. Without good purulent fertilizing, the plants become weak and do not produce shoots (small bulbs).
Liliaceae. Tall tulips that differ from most others in the shape of their petals. As a rule, this is a glass shape, but in this variety they have a pointed end. Peduncles have different colors and the most beautiful are considered to be tulips of a soft pink hue with yellowish veins.
Fringed tulips. The tulips of this particular group stand out for their exquisite beauty, because small branches are visible at the edges of the petals. Despite the fact that they are hybrids, this plant is noted for its high growth rates (up to 70 cm) and many color shades. Professional breeders working on this project managed to bring the new variety into the general register of international importance.
Green tulips. The flowers are distinguished by a particularly bright greenish tint of the petals. The edges of the petals may be various shapes, but most importantly – difference in variegated shades. From the flowering bowl the shade is dark green, towards the middle of the bud it is dark green. The top has a light salad color
Parrot tulips. A special feature of this species is its petals, which resemble “bird feathers”. The coloring is varied, but in most cases it is tall plants(50-65 cm), which bloom in early May or a little later.

Tulips (from Latin Túlipa) and daffodils (from Latin Narcissus) are perhaps the most popular flowering plants, with the help of which they plant their flower beds every year personal plots millions of flower growers in our country.

IN last years Many gardeners practice forcing bulbs of hyacinths, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, lilies, as well as flower buds of garden lilies of the valley on nutrient solutions. It is these plants that are most common in central Russia, and their cultivation does not create problems even for novice flower growers and inexperienced florists.

When to plant on the site

Any variety of fall bulbous flowers should be purchased and planted in the fall. The flowering period occurs next spring. The most unpretentious and beautifully flowering bulbous plants in Russia are represented by tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, imperial hazel grouse, decorative onions, crocuses, small-bulbous plants, including Scylla and Pushkinia.

However, well-known bulbous moisture-loving lilies are out-of-season, and they can be planted in flower beds and flower beds not only in spring, but also in autumn. When landing in spring period off-season species bulbous plants begin to bloom in the same year, and when using planting material in autumn, the flowering period falls on next year.

In the last ten days of August, the optimal time comes for planting small-bulbous plants, represented by Scylla, Pushkinia, Chionodoxa and crocuses, in flower beds.

Depending on what temperature indicators are typical for the region in mid-September, you should choose the time for planting tulip bulbs. Hyacinths can be planted at the end of October, when temperatures reach +8°C.

Selection and processing of planting material

When choosing and purchasing planting material for flowers such as tulips, crocuses, hyacinths and other plants, you should definitely pay attention to the size of the bulb. Only well-formed bulbs bloom beautifully and profusely.

At external inspection When planting material, pay attention to the density of the bulbs; they should not have rotten spots or mold. It is important to inspect the bottom of the bulbs of hyacinths, crocuses and other bulbous plants. It should not be loose or wet.

In hyacinths, you should pay attention to the color of the covering scales of the bulbs, which will be similar to the color of the inflorescences. Moreover, it is important to remember that low-growing varieties and species flowers have smaller planting material. Wide-conical bulbs are characteristic of pink, purple and blue varieties hyacinths, and yellow and orange varieties have narrow-conical bulbs.

Autumn planting of bulbous bulbs (video)

Flower growers need to remember the following nuances:

tulips, daffodils, snowdrops and hyacinths produce bulbs coated with a thin shell;
hazel grouse and lilies do not have bulb protection;
Crocuses and gladioli are characterized by the formation of corms covered with scales.

You cannot purchase planting material for lilies and crocuses immediately after forcing. Failure to comply with this rule can result in depletion of nutrients. Such plants will not produce flowers for a long time. High-quality and beautiful flowering can only be obtained from healthy and strong planting material of crocuses and other bulbous plants.

It is important to remove the packaged bulbs from the packages and reject those that are severely damaged or diseased. Purchased bulbs should be planted in a flowerbed after cleaning and treating them for infections. After removing the integumentary scales from apparently healthy planting material, fusarium can sometimes be detected. These mold-like spots require sanding and removal with powdered fungicides.

How to plant beautifully in a flowerbed: rules of landscape design

Recently, flower beds similar to alpine coaster, as well as with planting plants in a chaotic manner. Regardless of which method of planting bulbs is chosen, and what shape the flower garden is used, You should carefully observe the following planting rules:

Only large and healthy plant bulbs can be planted and replanted;
You cannot purchase, much less plant or replant, wrinkled and weak planting material, which will not produce a strong plant and beautiful flowers;
Plants should be planted to a depth that depends on the size and height of the bulb, as well as the type of soil in the flower garden;
the depth should be twice the diameter of the bulbs or triple the height of the bulb;
daffodils, tulips or hyacinths should be planted and replanted to a depth of 10–15 cm;
Smaller varieties such as snowdrops or crocuses should be planted at a depth of 3–5 cm.

It is extremely important to properly plant and replant out-of-season bulbs. The depth of their planting should be five times the height of the planting material. In addition, in the presence of heavy soils, placement is made less deep. The standard distance between planted bulbs should be twice their diameter. Volume of planting material for each square meter calculated depending on the purpose of planting. Chaotic planting of different types and varieties looks more natural and beautiful.

What flowers to plant tulips next to?

There are several rules that experienced flower growers actively use in order not only to properly design flower beds and flower beds, but also to make the decoration more effective:

It is best to plant any types and varieties of tulips in special baskets. With this method, after flowering, the planting baskets are transferred to a dry place, where the leaves of the plants completely wither and the bulbs fully ripen.
A good compatibility option is to plant between tulips flowering plants, which are classified as drought-resistant.

Planting tulips together with perennials can effectively decorate any type of flower garden or flower bed, regardless of shape and size.
An excellent addition is the viola, which can create an ideally beautiful low background for tall tulips. The maximum decorative effect is achieved by densely planting viola in flower beds.
Recently, monochrome flower beds have gained the most popularity, in which tulips of the same color are planted, but of different varieties and types.

In the absence of perennials in flower beds, it is extremely important to properly plan the space, which should not be empty throughout the entire summer period. As a rule, flower growers recommend placing ground cover flowers in flower beds after tulips. The most popular plantings are plants such as aubrieta, subulate phlox and arabis, the foliage of which is not capable of shading the tulips. This promotes full and high-quality ripening of the bulbs.

Unlike tulips, they do not have a clear dormant period, and the bulbs and roots are perennial.

The planting depth of all bulbous plants depends on the type of plant, but on average they adhere to the rule of three times the height of the bulb. This refers to the thickness of the soil layer above the bulb, and not the distance from the bottom of the hole or furrow to the surface.

Video about methods of planting tulips Plant tulips in open ground you need until April, but if frosts are still possible in your region at this time, first plant the bulbs in a container of a suitable size, and only then carefully transplant them into a flowerbed.

It would be logical to start planting bulbs in the spring, along with other flowers and vegetable crops. But it was not there! Majority experienced flower growers They unanimously say that autumn is the only suitable time when it is better to plant tulips. Although there are also supporters of spring planting, who can give many reasons why it is preferable to plant tulip bulbs in the ground in the spring. So, when should you plant tulips, and who is right?

If autumn is dry, the flowerbed will need to be watered a week and a half after planting. As soon as stable frosts arrive, mulch the ground with peat, dry leaves, compost or straw. In spring, remove the mulch so that it does not interfere with the delicate shoots of tulips.

"Autumn!"

When is the best time to plant tulips - mid-autumn or early spring?

And the narcissus bulb seems to grow from the inside, “swelling” due to the appearance of new scales. And if there is rich soil, a shady place and enough moisture, then daffodils can remain with leaves almost until the end of summer. Because they always have feeding roots.

Nature will tell you the correct answer

On heavy clay soils, the planting depth is reduced by 2-3 cm, and on light sandy soils it is increased by the same 2-3 cm. The tops of the bulbs should always be directed upward when planting. If they turn out to be upside down, they will germinate much later and will be weakened. Also, do not lay the bulbs on their side. On shady areas a spring flower bed is made from shade-tolerant plants(Fig. 27).

The main thing is to remember: regardless of what time you plant tulips, agricultural technology must be followed carefully, otherwise, due to improper care, the plant bulb will shred, and after it the stems and flowers will become smaller.

You can determine when to plant tulips by looking at the soil temperature:

It’s just important to take your time so that the bulbs don’t sprout before frost, and not to delay the timing, otherwise flowering will come much later. You need to choose a time from mid-September to mid-October, when the soil temperature will remain stable at around +10 degrees at a depth of 15 cm.

Oh, there is confusion and vacillation here with the tulips... and in the spring they plant persistently and are already harvested in mid-August...

The optimal time to plant tulips

Tulip buds look spectacularly bright against the backdrop of lush hostas and ferns;

B landscape design There are several basic techniques on how to most effectively arrange flowers and plants on your site. These techniques can also be successfully used when landing. Daffodils are not dug up at all; after flowering, beautiful grass remains; when it starts to wither, just cut it to ground level. Tulips are dug up after flowering and dried until the bulbs take all the juices from the leaves, then the bulbs are cleaned of dried leaves and stored in a dry room. Tulips are planted in September-October.In many areas there are places where there is little sun - near the northern wall of the house or under the canopy of trees. Very often such places are empty - it is believed that nothing will grow there. However, there are many flowers with different flowering periods that can successfully develop and bloom in the shade. Plants, blooming in spring, it is better to plant under the crowns fruit trees, since by the time the fruits are harvested, these plants have already faded.

It is not recommended to dig up daffodils often, because the bulb lives for several years and is overgrown with children. This is usually done after three to four years, when the “family” becomes large. And some children can no longer collect buds :) I don’t trim the leaves of faded daffodils, I braid them and leave them until they turn naturally yellow. This way the bulbs are better prepared for the next flowering.

as soon as the soil temperature drops to +7+9 degrees at a depth of ten centimeters, it’s time to start planting the bulbs;

To come to the right conclusion when it is better to plant tulips, you should pay attention to how these flowers grow in nature. Having understood the natural rhythm of life of wild tulips, you can easily understand what the more delicate varietal flowers growing in flower beds want.
So, in the spring you have fully enjoyed the graceful beauty of the blooming buds, and now the question arises: should you dig up the tulips or let them continue to grow in the same place? Those who have been growing this bulbous crop for many years will answer you without hesitation that digging up tulips must be done. Otherwise, your flowers will become smaller and lose their beauty, because in the place of one bulb in the summer a nest of daughter bulbs will form, which gradually become crowded and lack nutrients. If you leave such nests of bulbs in the same place from year to year, your flowerbed will begin to look less attractive over time.
There is nothing wrong with planting tulips on frozen ground before the beginning of December, and also spring planting bulbs - use the recommendations given in the article to slightly speed up the flowering of tulips in this case.

Daffodils should have been planted in the fall
Tulips are dug up when the leaves turn yellow. But not later, because then you won’t find the bulbs. Daffodils may not be dug up for several years. You need to plant in the fall, around October.
The tulip is called the king spring flower beds and people have been worshiping him for many centuries. Its bulbs are renewed and replaced with new ones every year. When the leaves begin to turn yellow and the covering scales of the bulbs become light brown in color, it is time to start harvesting the bulbs. There is another way to determine the time of digging: if the end of the tulip stem can be easily wrapped around your finger, the bulbs can be dug up.

if the temperature is higher, the bulbs will sprout, which will die at the first frost, and rooting will be worse;

When are tulips and daffodils dug up? and when are they planted again?

Bondarenko Olga

All that remains is to decide when to dig up the tulip bulbs: wait until the last minute until the stems are completely dry, or immediately remove the fading plants from the flowerbed so that they do not spoil the view? It is best to start digging when the above-ground part of the tulips has already turned yellow, but has not yet dried out, otherwise the nests will crumble, and some bulbs may remain in the ground unnoticed.
Before you start planting, you need to choose an unshaded place in the garden, prepare the soil and bulbs. The soil in the flowerbed should be fertile, loose, air- and water-permeable, and the bulbs should be sorted by size, discarding all diseased, damaged and too small specimens. Immediately before planting in the ground, the planting material is freed from the top husk and disinfected with potassium permanganate or the Maxim preparation.

Tulips invariably attract attention growing against the green background of boxwood conifers or plants.

No matter how much you would like to buy a couple of bulbs of the variety you like, try not to give in to this desire or buy several bulbs at once. The fact is that elegant tulips look beautiful only in group plantings, but if you plant different varieties one by one, the flowerbed will simply turn into a vinaigrette. And single specimens, scattered here and there, may remain unnoticed, no matter how magnificent they may be.

They are planted in August. I don’t dig them up. If they disappear, I’ll buy new ones.

Dig up in the summer, plant in the fall so that they have time to take root before frost! !

Practice shows that without annual digging, the reproduction rate decreases, the bulbs become smaller, the plant nutrition area decreases, the risk of bulbs being damaged by diseases and pests increases, the soil is depleted, and pathogenic microorganisms accumulate in it. Therefore, it is better to dig up tulips annually.

at a lower soil temperature, the bulbs simply will not have time to take root well before the onset of frost, which will lead to stunted growth of tulips in the spring and unsuccessful flowering.

Most types of tulips are native to Central Asia. Here, wild tulips are found in rocky and sandy deserts, in arid mountainous areas, foothills, on scree, in rock crevices, and also in steppes. In early spring, the mountain slopes and deserts of Central Asia present a truly picturesque picture - blooming tulips play bright colors in the sun, covering the ground with flowering carpets.

Tulips look better when they grow close together, 10 cm is enough, you can go closer if you don’t need a large baby to grow. plant calibrated bulbs.
When decorating their garden with tulips, gardeners invariably face the question: what to do when their flowering stops? You have to choose between economy and beauty - leave the wilted plants in the flower beds so that the bulb has time to accumulate nutrients and grow to an optimal size, or immediately dig up the fading tulips and get rid of them without regret, purchasing new planting material every year.
The color of several of the spots of tulips of the same variety and the same shade looks much more impressive. Moreover, if you wish, you can place several such “color spots” on one flower bed, creating a contrasting or composition using a smooth transition of shades. It will also be interesting to look at a monochrome flower bed in which tulips grow of the same color, but of different types: double and simple, simple and fringed, simple and lily, etc.
They don’t dig them up here. Only new ones are planted. Germany

Tulips and daffodils
Sufficient time for rooting of planted bulbs is about 20-30 days at optimal humidity soil and temperature in its upper layers up to +7 degrees.
As soon as the spring warmth turns into hot heat, the tulips quickly fade, dry out, and all the life in them is concentrated in the bulbs. The bulbs go deeper into the ground, and with the arrival of cool autumn weather, they form new roots in order to bloom again in the spring immediately after awakening.
The optimal time for digging up tulips in central Russia is from the third decade of June to mid-July. It is advisable that the weather be dry at this time.

Tulips from urban flower beds are dug up with green leaves and the bulbs are sent for growing. In private flower beds, yellowing gardeners try to cover the tulips with other plants, digging up the tulips when their foliage turns completely yellow. But the third option is one that is gaining more and more popularity: planting tulips in containers or Huge. In baskets, the advantage of this option is that containers can be dug out of the ground at any time, while filling the flowerbed with summer flowers, and putting the bulbs in containers or baskets for growing in another use.

I replant the daffodils and divide them as needed, preventing large bushes from growing. When the bush is large, there are a lot of bulbs and they interfere with each other, they begin to bloom worse, and become smaller. I dig it up when the leaves begin to turn yellow and die.
Mistake #1: Tulip bulbs need to be dug up at the end of July

Tulips and daffodils do not grow well in mixed plantings, so it is better to plant them in separate flower beds. If you plan to combine these flowers with other plants, then it is better to plant them in recessed containers, which can easily be included in any flower arrangement. For this purpose, old galvanized buckets are suitable, at the bottom of which drainage holes are made and a layer is poured broken bricks or gravel (5 cm), and then - earth mixture. Each Container is provided with a tin, thick foil or plastic label indicating the type, grade or color to prevent confusion. You can plant 5-7 tulips or 3 daffodils in one bucket.

Thus, tulips bloom in their natural environment only after a period of winter cooling, which is necessary for the formation in the bulbs of substances that affect the germination and flowering of the plant.

Keep in mind: if you want to direct all the tulip's strength to form strong, large bulbs, the buds should be broken off before they begin to bloom. In this case, at least two leaves must remain on the stem, which are necessary for photosynthesis of the plant.

make grooves or separate holes in the flowerbed for tulip bulbs; you can place planting material on leveled ground;

Since it is in the bulbs that all the organs of future tulips are laid and developed, working with planting material requires special attention. It is important to figure out in advance how to plant tulip bulbs correctly, so as not to be upset later because half of the seedlings did not appear, or the flowers turned out not at all as beautiful as expected.

As soon as it starts to get colder, I dig a pit for the bulbs. The deeper the planting, the stronger and larger the plants. At the bottom of the pit I pour store-bought soil, then carefully stick in lilies, onions (where I need them), then tulips at a distance of 1 bulb, no more, in the form of filled patterns. I frame it with crocuses in 3-4 rows, end to end. I fill the rest of the space with small blue bells (I forgot the name) and make a couple more lines with daffodils. Then I carefully sprinkle everything with the same purchased soil, and then cover it with my own soil. My friends are still sowing from above lawn grass, this prevents weeds from growing, and the flowerbed looks well-groomed. Like this. It takes the whole day, there are about 400 plants in the flowerbed, but in spring the beauty is indescribable.

The place of containers also allows you to solve the problem with soil on the site, because tulips need fertile, light soil. In the case of baskets and containers, you won’t have to rack your brains about where to plant them so that the tulips take root well - just fill the container with a suitable soil mixture and place it there Source.

Taking into account the height of various varieties, they can be carefully arranged “according to height” by lining up the tulips with the tallest peduncles in the background, in the middle varieties with medium height, and placing tulips or other low-growing tulips in the foreground. The height of tulip flowers can be grown in multi-level stepped flowerbeds or on earthen mounds - your imagination will tell you. The main thing is that the plants do not cover each other.

Tulips are also dug up depending on the condition of the leaves. Dried and planted (in our region) - September October month. Preferably annually.

- Under no circumstances! The digging of tulips should not be tied strictly to the calendar. They are dug when the leaves begin to turn yellow. If you wait until the tulip's leaves turn yellow completely or even dry out, half of the planting material will be lost. Because by this moment the children have already separated from the bulb, and when you dig up, you simply won’t find them, they will remain in the ground.

Tulips in containers are dug up immediately after flowering and transferred to the storage room, where they finish the growing season, and summer flowers are planted in their place. Containers with daffodils remain in place for 3-4 years, after which the bulbs are removed, sorted and replanted in fresh soil mixture.

But if for some reason the recommended deadlines were missed, when can you plant tulips in this case? According to experienced gardeners, it is possible to plant bulbs until the first days of December - this is still better than postponing planting until spring. And so that the bulbs do not freeze and the tulips do not lag behind in development in the spring, it is recommended to cover the flowerbed with spruce branches, dry leaves or straw and sprinkle snow on top.

Tulips in garden design in combination with other plants?

Having carefully dug up the bulbs at the right time, sorting them by variety and size, you need to think about where to store the tulips until autumn planting. For this purpose, you should choose a room in which the temperature will be kept at +20 degrees, there will be no dampness and sunlight. A dark, enclosed terrace or wooden shed is ideal.

Pour a little sand into the holes to prevent disease of the tulip bulbs;

There will be a new moon next weekend, it’s better not to risk it, but to plant today or tomorrow. While the moon is waning, we need to plant. And the moon is in Leo, tulips will be especially beautiful.
On the 20th of September, at a distance of 10-15 cm from the bulb. You can do it a little more often if you dig up the bulbs every year.
Planting according to flowering dates
I don’t dig up daffodils (they are replanted after 5-7 years), but I don’t dig up tulips every summer when the leaves die. And in order to make it easier to find, I plant them in boxes with holes (plastic), bury them in the ground, they will bloom, I hold them by the handles and dry them. I'll sort it out, dry it, and put it in the basement. For narcissists best time planting in September. The bulbs take root well before frost. The planting depth depends on the size of the bulbs - within 10-15 cm. For tulips, planting dates depend on the zone: in the middle zone - from September 15 to October 5, in the south - from October 100 to November 25, in the northwestern part - from September 5 to September 25.

Important features of planting a garden with tulips?

And at the stage when the leaves have just begun to turn yellow and still have signs of greenery, the bulb is already sufficiently mature and can be dug up.

Looks great spring flower bed from tulips or daffodils. These flowers belong to bulbous plants and reproduce by children, which are formed from the axillary buds of the bulb. Daffodils begin to be planted in August (in the northern zone) or in September-October (in the southern zone). With such planting dates, plants take root before frost and easily endure winter, and their spring flowering depends on this. Planting depth also plays an important role, depending on the size of the bulbs.

It also happens that flower growers remember the need to plant tulips only on the eve of spring. Although the time is not the best, don’t completely give up on these elegant flowers now. Tulips planted in spring also grow, but begin to bloom much later. You can speed up their flowering using a simple technique:

when and at what distance to plant tulips

VISCOUNT

The life cycle of cultivated tulips is the same as that of wild ones, so the most suitable period when you need to plant tulips is autumn. Once in the ground, the bulbs have time to grow roots before frost, after which life in them freezes with the onset of winter. In spring, the stem quickly emerges from under the snow and delicate buds form in a short time. At the end of flowering, the tulips are dug up and the bulbs are sent for storage until autumn planting.

Determine the planting depth depending on the size of the bulbs - usually planted at a depth three times the size of the bulb (pre-sorting the planting material by size will make your task easier);

Unlike most garden plants and flowers, tulip bulbs are planted not in spring, but in autumn. To understand why this happens, it is enough to pay attention to how tulips grow in natural conditions. Wild tulips begin to bloom immediately after the snow melts; the bright flowering does not last long enough, and by summer the plants begin to gradually wither and dry out. All the vital forces of tulips pass into the bulbs, which are temporarily buried in the ground and begin to form new flowers. Particularly active development occurs in the bulbs in the cool autumn months and during wintering.
A couple of years ago in Komsomolskaya Pravda there was an article like “how to grow a tulip at home by March 8th.” It was recommended to plant the bulb in early October in a container with soil and put it in the cold (I kept it in the refrigerator), watering it occasionally. After about a month or two I put it in a dark place. On New Year's Eve I "hatched" a wonderful pink tulip :))
Plant at the end of September, beginning of October at a depth of three bulb sizes and at a distance of 10-15 cm between the bulbs
If you don’t want the flowerbed full of tulips to be empty, choose different types and so varieties so that they gradually blossom one after another. Thus, simple and double early varieties of tulips begin to bloom from the end of April, early-flowering tulips are also among some wild ones. species beyond the most early varieties Kaufman tulips are blooming, varieties of the Triumph and Darwin classes are also blooming, and hybrids are Greig and Foster tulips. Throughout May, varieties of tulips from the numerous late-blooming group will open their buds. As you can see, the choice is very large; all you have to do is choose a combination of tulips in one flowerbed.

And I planted tulips and daffodils in the fall! And I don’t dig it up!
The main signs of “maturity” are the color of the peel and scales. White - early to dig. If it is the color of baked milk or pinkish, it’s time: the children are still in place, have not fallen off, no one is lost. If the scales are brown, it means the bulb is fully ripe and it’s too late to dig.

Before storing, the sorted bulbs are dried for a couple of days, poured in two layers into mesh boxes so that the future planting material does not deteriorate or rot. Then the nests are divided into separate bulbs, which are cleared of the upper scales and roots and pickled in potassium permanganate for half an hour. After this treatment, you can send the boxes with the bulbs for storage.

Natural cooling has a special effect on the processes occurring in the bulb, allowing it to immediately sprout with the onset of spring and soon throw out new buds. Like other bulbous plants, tulips do not begin to bloom without a cooling period.

Spectacular bulbous perennials, are the center of attention every spring when they open their incredible flowers in a variety of sizes and colors.

So how can you beautifully plant tulips in your dacha or garden so that they harmonize with the greenery of other plants and create a festive mood?

Before planting tulips in a flower bed, garden bed, or using them in a composition with perennials and ornamental shrubs, it is worth remembering that this plant blooms in the spring and its flowering period is short (up to 25 days).

Flowerbed

Large varieties of tulips, related to Darwin hybrids, Triumph tulips, Simple late, Lily-flowered, Fringed, Green-flowered, look especially beautiful in groups of 5-10 pieces or more.

The most impressive look is obtained from a composition consisting of only tulips. For it, varieties of approximately the same height and harmonizing colors are chosen. Tulips are planted in large spots in such flowerbeds.

For one composition, three primary colors and two additional shades are usually selected. When choosing, you also need to pay attention to the shape of the flower and its size. For example, fringed varieties go well with parrot, terry and green-flowered varieties.

Flowers made from only tulips also look impressive. When designing these landscape elements You can use varieties with a slight difference in height, as this creates a certain rhythm and enlivens the landscape.

Spring flower bed of bulbous plants

When creating a flower bed from various bulbous crops that bloom in spring, in addition to tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, muscari (mouse hyacinth), snowdrops, scylla, pushkinia and quinodox are planted.

All these flowers go perfectly together. Two or three varieties of fringed and double tulips (for example, yellow, white and yellow-orange shades) are placed in the center of this composition. It is good to plant groups of white trumpet daffodils in the second row, which will alternate with white hyacinths.

Will look great in the next row various varieties muscari (blue, blue), snowdrops (white) and pushkinia (white-bluish). All small-bulb crops can be planted in groups (oval or round) of 10-15 pieces or more.

A group of muscari, consisting of two shades, is alternated with pushkinia and snowdrops. In the last row are placed quinodoxa (bluish-white) and scylla (white), which are also planted in groups.

Flowerbed with spring biennials and perennials

Tulips will also go well with spring flowers such as primroses, violas, daisies and forget-me-nots.

When decorating one of these compositions in the garden, tulips are placed in the center, and you can plant several varieties of harmonizing shades (for example, pink and pink-raspberry). White varieties of tall primrose are planted in the second row. And the third row can be made of daisies in white-pink and pink-red shades.

Note: When creating such flower beds, it is worth remembering that plantings of tulips fade quickly, and violas, primroses, daisies and forget-me-nots retain their decorative appearance for a long time. Therefore, be sure to think about what plants will replace the tulips. Usually annuals are planted in their place.

Alternatively, you can use white-violet and violet tulips, white primroses and violet-white violas. You can also create any flowerbed design using the tulips you like.

Alpine slide

In the last few years, low-growing species and hybrids of the Kaufmann, Forster and Greig tulip, which belong to the group of botanical tulips, have become fashionable.

The height of all these species and hybrids varies from 15 to 25 cm. They attract attention with bright flowers, early flowering and spectacular beautiful foliage.

These species and hybrids are perfect for decorating rock gardens (rocky gardens) and rock gardens. They are planted in areas that warm up first. sun rays. Next to them, low-growing and creeping forms of perennials and evergreen shrubs look good.

Flowers under the trees

To bring your garden landscape design to life in early spring You need to plant tulips near fruit trees.

To do this, select varieties of the same height and matching shades. Species and hybrids of the Kaufmann tulip, whose height varies from 15 to 25 cm, bloom especially well under trees.

Many varieties in this group have striking, variegated leaves.

It is important to know: tulips are planted in tree trunk circle in small groups or in several rows.

In such plantings, you can use both other bulbous (narcissus, hyacinths) and small-bulbous flowers (muscari, scylla, quinodoxa, snowdrops).

A description and types of Fittonia can be found in this article:

Compositions in containers

Portable containers with blooming tulips will be a great addition to any landscape design.

To do this, use various vases (concrete, plastic, ceramic) or containers. For such compositions, species and varieties are chosen not only of tall and medium height, but also of short stature.

Container plantings provide a quick solution to landscaping problems, add color, and can be quickly replaced once the tulips have finished blooming and become unappealing. This type of cultivation is shown very well in a photo or video.

Flower beds with ornamental shrubs and perennials

Tulips are often used to create flower beds that retain their decorative appearance over time. all year round. Many different crops are planted in such compositions:

evergreens (juniper, thuja, fir, spruce);
ornamental shrubs (forsythia, spirea, barberry, weigella and others);
perennials (hosta, platydons, cuff, tenacious, sedums, garden geraniums);
annual flowers (marigolds, zinnias, salvia, petunia and others).

Tall and large varieties of tulips are placed against the backdrop of evergreens and ornamental shrubs, surrounded by perennial herbaceous crops so that after flowering they cover the place where they were.

Dwarf tulips, a botanical species, are planted in the foreground among low-growing perennials. After the end of flowering, the tulips are dug up and beautiful annual flowers are planted in their place, which quickly grow and cover the empty ground.

If you don’t want to dig up the bulbs, then annuals are placed next to the place where the tulips grow. It is worth remembering that tulip bulbs remain in one place for 3 to 7 years, then they need to be planted again. But this is ideal, since excess moisture (due to a lot of rain) and mouse attacks can destroy the bulbs in one season.

In order to quickly and easily dig up bulbs, use special plastic baskets in which tulips are placed. But this method is not suitable if you need to plant several hundred bulbs in a flowerbed.

On the lawn, in parks and squares

When creating large compositions in squares and parks, tulips belonging to the group of Darwin hybrids and simple late ones are planted next to evergreen and deciduous shrubs.

They especially stand out against the background of holly mahonia, evergreen boxwood, thuja globulus, Cossack juniper and Chinese juniper. In spring, blooming tulips brightly color green spaces and delight the eye.

On the ground lawn, which is grown only to decorate the front part of a building or house, a pond or the central entrance, various flower arrangements. Most often they have a symmetrical shape, and the crops on them change depending on the season.

In order to decorate a parterre flowerbed in the spring, use the most spectacular varieties of tulips. Among them are:

Flowerbeds, flowerbeds and compositions with tulips, created with your own hands, will always decorate the garden and bring joy to life.
