White Tulips
Tulips have earned great love from gardeners. And this is not surprising, because these primroses are distinguished by their unpretentious nature and a variety of species and colors. White tulips are especially popular. Breeders have bred many such varieties, differing not only in the flowering period, but also in the growth of the culture, as well as in the shape of the glass.
Such flowers can be representatives of the classes “Triumph”, “Darwin’s hybrids”, as well as simple early ones. As a rule, the flowering period begins in mid-April, but in the northern regions, the buds can bloom in early May. But the varieties are suitable for early forcing in the greenhouse.
White tulips can be of both early and late varieties.
