Viridiflora Tulips, Spring Bulbs, Spring Flowers
At this time, Viridiflora Tulips form the least significant of the tulip groups. However, many gardeners looking for unusual plants quickly find what they want in this group. What makes these tulips so fascinating is that their petal color includes green, with stripes or flames on the back of the petals. Their overall bloom shape is cupped to about 3 inches across (7 cm). Blooming in late spring, these spectacular tulips enjoy long-lasting blooms (3 weeks!) and look ravishing in a vase!
A symbol of spring, tulips are the most popular spring bulbs; most gardeners reserve them a spot in the garden or in containers. Grown for their attractive, vibrantly colored flowers, there are currently over 3,000 registered varieties, divided into fifteen groups, mostly based on the tulip’s flower type, size, and blooming period.
