Tulips are one of the oldest types of flowers dating back to the 15th century. They are widely used by humans with some older civilizations utilizing them in their turbans as well. During the first half of the 17th century, tulips became so popular in Europe that they were regarded as a currency as well.
Even these days when there are bouquets to be made or some other decorations to be done, you would find large-scale use of tulips. As you can see from our tulip images they are quite vibrant, thus justly used in decorations or in bouquets.
If you are thinking of growing tulips, then that is easily possible in your garden. To begin, get some good quality tulip bulbs. The quality of the tulip bulbs varies from one nursery to another and you need to ensure the variety which you are getting will thrive your climate zone. Next research for the species to find out the details about the way in which you can plant them (and when!) plus the shade which they need and how often they will need to be watered.
Having seen our beautiful tulip pictures, you would already know that they point upwards and the roots of tulip usually go up to 2 inches underground and therefore when you're planting the bulbs, you need to make sure that you have at least that much space to let them grow, i.e. no rocks directly underneath. Once established, tulips will be a wonderful addition to your garden.
As far as cost goes, tulip bulbs are not too expensive. Most of the people might not know this but there are plenty of different types of tulips as well and the most famous variety is the White Tulip. More striking colors (some mix-match) can make even more of an impact as you can observe of these tulip garden pictures.
