Extracting tulips at home and on a flower bed! Dive into the fragrant sea in early spring.

During these three cold months, winter has become so ingrained in our consciousness that we do not even believe in the imminent arrival of spring. How you want to quickly remove the hated down jacket, put on a light jacket, go quickly to the garden and admire the colorful riot springflowers. But for now, all this is just in the plans...

After all, experienced growers know: to turn your garden into a real greenhouse under the open sky, you should do the expelling of spring plants in advance. Today we are going to talk about how beautiful it is, and tulip-plant.





First of all, you need to correctly approach the choice of seed material. These should be healthy bulbs that have passed the period of stratification (pre-existence at low temperatures). The size of the bulb indicates the state of its health. Therefore, it is better to opt for a large seed material without the slightest damage.





Before planting, experienced growers recommend a small prevention of plant diseases. To do this, you need to clean the bulbs of the husks and place them in a 5% solution of permanganate for 30 minutes.





Tulip planting

1. Group landings
   The variety of plants is also important: if you have a huge desire to buy several bulbs of different varieties, you should abandon this idea. The fact is that tulips look very beautiful in the form of a single color spot. Therefore, planting several colorful plants in one place will resemble a vinaigrette.
   
   
   
2. Landing according to altitude
   Flowers and landscape designers recommend that when planting tulips take into account their height. Thus, you can create a ladder effect, planting in the background the varieties with the highest peduncles, in the middle - with medium, and in the foreground - dwarf varieties.
   
   
   
3. Planting tulips in baskets
   Due to the fact that tulip bulbs must be dug annually, it is very convenient to plant plants in small baskets or plastic lattice boxes. This method will also keep tulips at home on a well-lit windowsill or balcony.
   
   
   
4. Various combinations
   Very impressive tulips look together with hyacinths, panty eyes or forget-me-nots.
   
   
   Bright blue muscari and tulips are another example of a good combination.
   
   
   Do not be afraid to plant tulips next to trees or flowering shrubs. As beautiful companions for spring flowers, luiseania, forsytia, rhododendron and weigela are ideal.
