How Do I Choose The Best Variety of Pink Tulips For My Garden?
One thing you may want to consider before choosing the best variety of pink tulips for your garden is bloom time. What month would you like to see these flowers blooming in your garden?
There are early-tulips (which typically bloom in March or Early April), late tulips (which typically bloom in May), and mid-season tulips (which bloom somewhere in between).
Pro Tip: If you want to see tulips blooming all spring, consider choosing 3 varieties of pink tulips- one that blooms in early spring, one that blooms mid-spring, and one that blooms late spring!
If you don’t necessarily care about bloom time, then I recommend to choose the pink varieties of tulips that you love the most! It’s perfectly fine for some to come up in early spring, and others in late spring, or all at once, as long as you have the variety you’re excited about!
