Tulip Eichleri

Who has ever heard this statement from the mouth of a friend, a neighbor? Perhaps you yourself experienced? So you had bought some bulbs from a superb variety of tulip horticulture, then, carefully following the advice you’ve gleaned here and there, you had installed in the garden. Your plants also did all your pride the next year? Unfortunately, over the years, only a few small leaves appeared. You have attempted to repeat the experience, unfortunately the results were the same. To hell with the tulips!

Let us not dwell on why plants are selected for frail and weak, and we penchons rather a category of tulips that lends itself to a more sustainable use in the garden: Botanical tulips!

These tulips, say wild, are represented by more than 100 species. And many of them were brought under cultivation in recent centuries. Indeed, the ancestors of these strains are still grown in the wild. They are found primarily in Central Asia and Turkey. And if some species require high mountains that are recreated in the culture conditions of these countries, most however are perfectly able to adapt and multiply in the garden, that for many years or permanently.

What botanical tulips for my garden?

The long list of botanical tulips may take pleasure in your garden. Thus, eichleri Tulip, Tulip whittallii, or Tulipa praestans are just a few examples among many. Truly, the variability and the beauty of their flowers have nothing to envy the domestic tulips.

But that’s not all! So if you’re one of those gardeners aware of the protection of biodiversity (and they are becoming more numerous), do you know that by introducing some botanical tulips in your garden, you contribute directly and very effectively to safeguard some species particularly vulnerable?
For example, from strains cultivated Tulip sylvestris Tulip lusiana, or Tulip didieri are sometimes available on some catalogs.

So why do not you invite the wild in your garden? If you need help planting these tulips and caring in general for your garden you can always find a gardener or landscaper!
