What are Viridiflora Tulips?

Viridiflora Tulips are also known as Green Tulips, some are almost entirely green with a hint of colour on the edge of the petals, while others, such as Tulip Green Spirit, have much more discreet green shading. The elegant blooms are long lasting making them excellent cut flowers. Viridiflora tulips are perennial, making them a reliable, low maintenance option, that you can leave in the ground to flower next year, or you might choose to lift and store them.

How to grow

Viridiflora Tulip bulbs are tolerant of all soil types and both sunny and semi shaded positions, they can also be planted in lawned areas. They prefer a well draining soil to avoid sitting in water when it gets very wet. If the soil dries out it can effect the growth of the flower. You won’t need to water them much over winter, there will be enough moisture in the soil to produce roots. Once the weather starts to warm up, water more regularly.

Whether you choose to leave them in the ground, or lift them, once the flower has finished, Viridiflora Tulip bulbs will benefit from having the flower head removed to allow nutrients to return to the bulbs to flower again next year.
