flowering and will emerge again next year!<br />

height is one of the factors that makes them perfect for planting in a flower bed as well as in rock<br />

gardens and special little spots. With so many different varieties to choose from, they can create a<br />

real riot of colour in the garden or even in flower containers.

most wholesale tulip bulbs but their numbers will easily increase year after year. Botanical <strong>tulips</strong> are<br />

spring-blooming flowers.<br />
