The Tulip ‘Mrs. J. T. Scheepers’, ‘Tulipa single late’, a fall planted bulb, produces large and vibrant yellow flowers on tall stems. Single Late Tulips finish off the tulip season. They bloom in late spring. The blooms are large, oval, almost egg-shaped, on a long, sturdy stem. Single Late Tulips are good as cut flowers, for beds, and borders. They do not require the very cold winters of many other tulips, and are a good choice for warmer climates. They have tall strong stems and well-shaped blooms.

The Tulip ‘Violacea’, ‘Tulipa species’, a fall planted bulb, produce striking violet pink flowers with blue centers on short stems. The Species Tulips are rarely planted in large masses as their main feature is their uniqueness. Species Tulips are suitable for rock gardens and small group plantings and prefer to be left in the ground to multiply naturally. Species tulips are the wildflowers of the tulip family. Hardy species tulips require less work. They are less vulnerable to stormy spring weather, and their generally short stems don’t bend in strong winds. Their flowers usually remain closed through the morning or on cloudy days, showing only the outside color of the petals. When warmed by the sun, they open to reveal another petal color on the inside. It’s like having two different flowers in the same space at once. Spent flowers should be removed so that the energy goes into revitalizing bulbs instead of seeds. The leaves should not be cut back until they begin to yellow. This permits bulbs to recharge before going summer-dormant.
