More Repeat Flowering Tulips || Choosing Tulips that Come Back

[@eamonnszwec2228]

Thank you educating me so much. This blog about tulips is excellent. As I am in the UK, I've gone o Bulby UK. Would you be able to explain to where to find the divisions, because so far I just see tulips and I would like to order white ones from division 8, 4 and 13. As I learnt from you , they would all be perennial. I'd be grateful if you could explain this to me.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Check out the tulip variety on the RHS website. Here is the entry for 'Purissima' and the indication that it is division 13 www.rhs.org.uk/plants/84029/tulipa-purissima-(13)/details

We may have the warmth here in southern Europe but you certainly have the proper climate for those beauties to flourish in splendor!!! Looking forward to the next videos 🤩👌❤️

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thank you, Fernanda. Just planted the second lot of 100 tulips today. I have blisters, as usually but it will be worth it. Have a great day.

So excited to see them next Spring!! You have a lot of holes to dig!!! What fun! 😍😍

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I sure will! 😅

[@faunalife2906]

I didn't use to be a bulb fan but now I think of it they are great, you can plant lilies or alliums amongst the spring bulbs like tulips so you have interest for spring and summer in one small area.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I adore bulbs... tulips, lilies, alliums, crocuses. But that's a lot of planting in autumn. 200 down, only 100s more to go! Happy growing.

[@Flowergarden6159]

Loving your wonderful videos in Australia.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

You're very kind. Thank you so much for letting me know.

[@lliu25]

I can’t wait to see them bloom, especially the orange ones.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Me too

[@aislingcollins4650]

Love this company too and on your recommendation last year for repeat flowering tulips bought purissimma. They were planted in Dec and wow were so big and beautiful. They obviously love the West Cork air! Thanks Rachel. Will buy more this year.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Tulips are the best. How could any garden be without them! Love West Cork. Hope to visit loads of gardens there next summer.

[@marcusseidel6824]

I ve also ordered at Bulbi. Will plant more than 400 tulips. I m looking forward.

@@GardeningatDouentza Received yesterday the big heavy box full of bulbs. Might order more. I think it s not easy to stock the bulbs well. I plant in different sessions. Till mid or end of November. Greetings from a big fan (from Belgium)

@@marcusseidel6824 Smart thinking. But then you end up paying postage twice ;/

[@GrannysGarden]

I see you have your work cut out for you. I buy bags of 25, you buy bags of 100🤣 I also adore Ballerina but they don't come back well for me so I treat them as annuals and plant in containers. I did buy a load of botanical tulips this year for my border so fingers crossed 🤞 I must say the bulbs you got from Bulbi, even through the package, looked top notch.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Hi Una. I feel those packets of 100 on my hands at the moment as I'm just in from planting the Orange Emperor. Interesting about your experience with 'Ballerina' and such a pity. Okay time to get my 'Ballerina' in the ground. Hope you have a sunny day.

[@GrannysGarden]

@@GardeningatDouentza Thanks Rachel. Beautiful day today for gardening. Temperatures to plummet on Thursday with night temperatures in or around freezing so I spent the morning setting up my winter plant table beside the window in the basement and I have brought in my Coleus, tropical Hibiscus and the non hardy succulents. I need a greenhouse!!!!

@@GrannysGarden I just checked our temperatures and it's due to drop to 4 tonight. Change of plan - bringing in the aeoniums now.

I want to see your planting video? I decided to use a a bulb planting tool instead of a spade this season (for nodig reasons, plus the tool is good for tight spaces), my hands took quite a beating. I skimped out of paying an extra €20 for a long handled tool, easier to use your legs, in hindsight it would've been worth it.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Have you seen the drills they now advertise for bulb planting? Maybe I'll invest next year.

[@Davidgordano]

Very reassuring, I just bough some Blue Aimiable, good to know they repeat. I have also planted Blue Parrot and Violet Beauty in an attempt to find the truest blue... any you know that are bluer? :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Missed this question. Sorry, no, don't know any blues.

[@Tea_and_thyme_2012]

Ooooh I heard you mention Day Lily in the video. I’ve bought one this year and it was stunning but I can’t find the information that came with it on how to store over winter. Could you please let me know what you do with yours? Mines in a large terracotta pot.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Day lilies are perfectly hardy plants, in my climate anyway. They are in the ground. As yours is in a pot, it will be more vulnerable. Plant it in the garden now or move the pot to a more sheltered position for winter (like a south-facing wall of your house.

[@laurelsayer7557]

Though not mentioned in your last tulip video, do you find the Triumph tulip Negrita also reliably comes back? I really love the colour but couldn't face replacing them every year!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I have never grown Negrita so I can't help, I'm afraid. Stunning colour though!

[@jagdishbahia9162]

Hi, Rachel After planting tulip bulbs in the pots where to store the pots. You leave it in the garden or you store the pots in the shed or garage?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Leave the pots outside. Tulips need cold.

[@jagdishbahia9162]

@@GardeningatDouentza Hi, Rachel Is Westland new Horizon all plant compost 100% peat free is ok for planting tulips bulbs in the container?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@jagdishbahia9162 I don't know about Westland's peat status. It will say on the packet. Use compost and horticultural grit for your tulip mix at a ratio of 3 to 1. Place your pot in a sheltered position outdoors. It can be moved once the tulips get going in spring.

[@vivianobillo6724]

Hi Rachel, are these tulip bulbs to be planted in garden beds & will stay there for years?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yes, they are

[@Davidgordano]

Another question (!) Why do some tulips not re flower? They are healthy plants, the bulbs do not rot away in the ground (?) It is because they are just bred to look good once and have poor genetics for long life? It seems vey unfair..?
