Tulips: to blend is a trend

Posted by Carol Stocker October 17, 2009 10:07 AM

Plant your tulips before Thanksgiving.

"Purdy" is one of dozens of colorful tulip mixes created and by Colorblends, a Connecticut based wholesale tulip mail order company. Most of the mixes are bought by parks and professional designers, but home gardeners can order them, too. Read my previous blog entry, "Gardener's Almanac: Tulips" for an interview with Colorblends owner Tim Schipper. For more colorful pictures, go to his website at www.colorblends.com.
