Nice video. I plant 250,000 bulbs every fall in the northeast. We plant on a grand scale, meaning we plant the bulbs less than 2 inches apart (most home gardens suggest 4-6 inches apart). There’s a big festival celebrating our city’s Dutch heritage every spring. We even invite residents to come out and dig up bulbs to take home.

Wow thanks for this great info, including the fact that Costco bulbs are so cost effective and so beautiful!

Your tulips definitely don’t look disorganized. They looks amazing!

Obviously I'm 16 months late to this video; however, if you add bone meal to your bed every fall and spring, you'll help your bulbs and they'll flower beautifully. Tulips need at least 12 weeks of cold in order to bloom. If you live in a hot zone like I do (9B), then you must either buy pre-chilled bulbs or dig them, wash them, and refrigerate them for 3+ months before planting again. Edited to add that I have phlox subulata planted in a berm. I love it. Nice video and well done.

Thank you so much for the explanation. It makes so much sense.

Muscari are one of my favorite bulb flowers!! I'm looking forward to seeing your bloom next spring.

So beautiful ! How gorgeous your garden...

It surprises me that people never mention that the really nice phase of tulip flowers doesn't last very long, and afterwards the plants slowly flop over and die off and look pretty terrible while they're doing so. This is particularly true because tulips are usually planted in really visible locations.

@breik8183

Ай бұрын

That doesn't matter in most areas because gardens are still sleeping when tulips are blooming and they're only waking up during the flopping phase and then everything else grows in and takes up the tulips space. It's not like it's taking anything away from your garden

I love your display of tulips. So so beautiful!! You have taught me a lot in this video, and I am going to try to follow your advise for getting a full display like yours. I also love the flocks. Very pretty blue color. I want to try and plant these around my shed. Thanks again for sharing. I just had to subscribe. God Bless you and your family.

So beautiful your arrangement of mixed tulips and the soft purple phlox, just love it. I know well where you live, so good for tulips and all sort of beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing so much information and artistic garden.

Love how you have planted these along a rock wall! It mimics how they would grow in nature (mountains of the Middle East). If you want to extend the bloom season of your ground cover areas, you could also plant hardy Plumbago (leadwort). It has nice foliage that would contrast the fern texture of your phlox and has pretty cobalt blue flowers. It is summer to fall blooming. The best varieties of perennializing tulips are species, kaufmanniana, gregii, Fosteriana, and Darwin hybrids. Narcissus do really well perennializing.

You really don't have to pull them and replant them as long as you let the foilage die back and add bone meal. Now, if you want to add some fresh bulbs to the mix to be sure of a gorgeous display, go for it. When I lived in Illinois, I never dug mine up except about every 3rd year. They got their 3 month chill period!

Wonderful, thorough information!!! Thank you for taking the time to share and show examples. Looking forward to more of your videos. God bless ❤️

Just found you. Fabulous tulips.....one can never have too many. I live in the Great Lakes and we are getting 6+ inches of snow today! Early April Fools joke!!! Great tips and video.

Zinnias are my favorite! I put them in summer when my tulips are done. I also planted some tulips bulbs today, along with crocus & muscari. The Muscari is purple so I planted it in front of these fiery orange tulips...I think the contrast will be nice in spring. Also the phlox is one of my favorites...just planted a bunch this year so hopefully will see a nice show next year

That sounds amazing! Honestly one of the hardest parts is selecting plants that work well and provide all year interest. I think Tulips + Zinnia are a great combo and the Monarch Butterflies agree. I think your garden will be amazing next spring!

WOW! Your tulip garden is beautiful! And even more beautiful that you got such a good deal at Costco! I have not had that problem with tulips not coming back as full. I am in Zone 4B and planted a cheap bag of tulips a few years back. They still come back every year...bigger, brighter, stronger...and of course, they have spread now. I read that some varieties do come back more reliable than others. Darwin hybrid tulips tend to return more reliably and with more vigor. I'm sure that must be what I have. That or Superman tulips! Ha! I agree with your assessment and tips though, but I would add that for better long-term results, look for Darwin's.

I agree with you, mixing them together is a beautiful array of color and flowers and I like that you have tips continually blooming instead of all dying at the same time.

Looks amazing 😻

Hello I love your tulip garden, and more liked when hear you are going to dig them up and plant Zinnia's , what exactly I am looking for, I used to plant Zinnia's but this year I planted Tulips as well, all looks good however would like to know, when I can dig them out to plant Zinnia's. Thank you so much and will appreciated for your comments . Regards..

Thanks for the tulip info. As for zinnias you mentioned, I've grown them for two years (the tall, "State Fair" version). They are lovely indeed, but you didn't mention that they are annuals. As I get older, it becomes more difficult to plant annuals, so I'm switching to perennials like coneflowers and such. The same is true of tulips... they need annual digging, sorting, cleaning, storing, and replanting. Love them, but so much work.

I had a question on your phlox. How many plants did you start with and how long does it take to become dense and established? Thanks!

I have creeping phlox, muscari, white candy tuft, (which drapes down the rocks just like your phlox does in the video). Beautiful combination and great if you have rocky soil….which I do. Also have daffodils, tulips all kinds of hostas, ferns, coral bells, Lenten roses in my shadier areas. I have lots of anchor plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons,hydrangeas, dogwoods, fruit and nut trees and of course roses since my husband never promised me a rose 🌹 garden…I planted my own🌹! 🤭 I watch videos like yours and appreciate you sharing your tips and beautiful yard. I love gardening and transforming areas and I am currently working on two different areas that will be secret gardens. It has been a lot of back breaking work over the years and 2 years ago we got a tractor which was a game changer. Cleared a whole back area that had lots of stumps, blackberry bushes, weeds that were up to my neck. Then we leveled it (this area was at least a quarter acre) then we bought in so many loads of top soil and planted 30 arborvitae’s to outline the area. I have been digging up and dividing plants from the other areas of my yard with most of the plants I listed in the beginning. I also collect my own seeds. I am a plant addict and KZread gardening is kinda like an alcoholic anonymous meeting for me…i stopped buying, started propagation, dividing collecting seeds and swapping with friends and neighbors. It’s an awesome support system 😊🌿🌹🌸🍀🌲🌻🌷🤭

You garden sounds AMAZING! I really like what you said about collecting seeds and dividing plants. These Tulips are the largest plant purchase I make by far. But I rarely go to the garden center much anymore, I started with one forget me not, now I have 50. I regularly cut bouquet of Zinnia and then rather than throw them out, I hang them to dry in the root cellar and the harvest all the seed in the fall and use that to replant my Zinnia every spring. Gardening is the study of life, art, and nature all rolled into one. You send like a kindred spirit, Thank you! :)

Hi , thanks for your video, you gave info I didn't find elsewhere. When did you take the bulbs out ?

In my area (South Jersey) the muscari tend to bloom in phase more with the daffodils. By the time the tulips start to show the muscari are usually past their prime. The rich blue of the muscari and yellow daffs make a great match.
