This week on J. Schwanke’s Life in Bloom, a fascinating historical account of people’s fascination with tulips!
Tulips have been regarded as the symbol of spring for many years, although they are now available all year round. Thanks to tremendous ingenuity, cutting-edge technology, and abundant worldwide resources, these wonderful blooms are available all year round. At the Sun Valley Flower Farms in Arcata, California, tulips are available every day of the year, 24 hours a day.
J goes to see Lane Devries, a friend of flowers, at Sun Valley Flower Farms in Arcata to see how they produce tulips all year round.
With the use of Coolers, Sunshine, and Bulbs from all around the world, Lane DeVries, the proprietor of Sun Valley Flower Farms, developed a method that enables Tulips to remain accessible all year long! Lane is one of the Flower Friends I mention in my first published book, Fun with Flowers, which won an award. Purchase it right here!
Sun Valley is able to provide the World’s Finest Tulips (soil grown in “Humboldt Gold Soil”) every day of the year thanks to a maze of coolers, a tiny temperature differential, and continuous monitoring of root production. The ideal location for Lane’s tulip farm turned out to be Arcata, California, which has a mean annual temperature of 50–60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is where Lane and the tulips currently reside.
When ought I should purchase tulips?
Tulips, daffodils, and other flowering flower bulbs are the epitome of spring. If you share our love for them, act quickly and place your order. To ensure that you’ll be prepared for the fall planting season, August is the optimum month to acquire spring-blooming bulbs.
Tulips
Except for blue, tulips are available in almost all of the colors of the rainbow. They are a well-liked option due to their variety, especially for properties wishing to present a vibrant show that matches their brand. Choose tulips based on when they bloom: early, mid, late, or extremely late. The flower stalk will get taller the later the bloom. The most well-liked tulips are Darwin hybrids, which have flowers that are between 4 and 5 inches broad and stand about 18 inches tall.
Unfortunately, deer and people both enjoy tulips equally. A lavish display will quickly transform into an unlimited buffet. Tulips aren’t the ideal choice if deer frequently visit your property. They’ll devour the entire plant, even the bulb.
The other qualification for tulips is that they are one-and-done, which basically means they don’t reflower well. After a tulip blooms, the bulb needs to be dug up, thrown away, and replaced the next year with a fresh bulb.
Daffodils
Daffodils are the answer to your deer problems. The foliage and bulb of daffodils contain an alkaloid that deer avoid eating. Daffodils can be sown in beds, then after blooming, moved to uncultivated places along a wooded border or in grassy meadows with good drainage. There, with minimal maintenance, the daffodils will flourish and blossom year after year.
Daffodils should be dug out for transplanting while retaining as much of the foliage as is feasible. The leaf must mature normally, turning yellow or brown, so that the green energy can be transferred to the bulb and result in a flower once more the following spring.
Daffodils bloom according to the season, just like tulips—very early, early, middle, late, and very late. Daffodils that bloom extremely late in the season typically have fewer flowers but the richest smell. Your property will smell like spring with even a few stems.
Tete’ A Tete is a well-liked selection for a particularly early bloomer. These short-statured, vivid yellow daffodils bloom for several weeks, frequently while there is still snow on the ground. Tahiti is a good choice for a midseason vacation. Tahiti will undoubtedly stand out due to its amazing beauty. It is impossible to miss, with its blazing orange cup and vivid yellow petals on the outside.
Minor Bulbs
The minor bulbs, like crocus, snowdrops, and scilla, are anything but minor. These lesser-known miniatures are becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. They have a significant effect and provide a magnificent contrast to larger bulbs. A lawn or meadow will typically have hundreds or thousands of little bulbs planted throughout to provide colorful displays that victoriously announce the arrival of spring. In this planting scenario, the grass is not mowed until mid-August after flowering to give the leaves time to mature and die in preparation for the flower display the following year.
Towards the end of August, what flowers are in bloom?

Zinnias
Zinnias are vibrant, simple-to-grow annuals that look stunning in borders and containers alongside other ‘hot’-colored plants like dahlias. They thrive in vases as well.
Tithonia
Half-hardy annuals called tithonia, or Mexican sunflowers, are sown in the spring for a spectacular summer display. They enjoy a bright, dry location. The pollinators find these to be highly alluring.
Love-in-a-mist
Nigella damascena, sometimes known as “love-in-a-mist,” is a favorite of cottage gardens that easily self-seeds across the yard. Its seedheads perform nicely in dried flower arrangements, and both the blooms and foliage are helpful when arranging flowers.
Lilies
Asian lilies, like the one in this photo called “Orange Pixie,” are wonderful garden plants that look excellent in pots or borders. They also make gorgeous, long-lasting cut flowers. If you own cats, you should be aware that the plant is harmful to them in all of its forms.
Cosmos
Cosmos work nicely in borders and containers and are simple to raise from seed. They often continue to bloom well beyond the first frosts and produce stunning cut flowers. Keep the blooms coming by deadheading. Discover 10 vibrant cosmos that you can plant.
Globe thistle
Echinops, often known as the globe thistle, is a superb architectural choice for the back of a border because of its bristly blue blooms and prickly leaves. It forms a unique cut flower and is particularly alluring to pollinators.
Are tulips available in the summer?
Tulips are spring-blooming bulbs that are dormant during the scorching summer months. This implies they are unable to establish roots during the summer’s intense heat. They detest excessive wetness as well, which stresses the bulb and makes it vulnerable to fusarium, or base rot, which makes it mold and deteriorate.
But by waiting until the fall, when the temperature is pleasant and cool, the bulbs are encouraged to form their roots and remain strong throughout the winter temps. Additionally, because they alter the physiology of the bulb, these pre-set roots are essential for absorbing extra moisture and preventing the bulbs from freezing in the winter. It changes its makeup to become more elastic, producing a nearly antifreeze-like effect that shields it from the cold and keeps it safe so it may readily bloom when springtime returns. Unfortunately, there are occasions when we may fail to plant our tulip bulbs in the fall. Is there still time to plant your bulbs for spring enjoyment, even if you neglected or didn’t have any for fall planting?
Are tulips still available?
You can still plant your tulip bulbs in spring if you forgot to do so last fall, did you know that? And even better, continue to encourage them to flourish!
The addition of tulips to a spring garden is lovely. When the lengthy winter season finally starts to end, they are among the first blooming plants to appear. They undoubtedly serve as a welcome reminder that summer is approaching with their lush green foliage and vibrant blossoms.
Bulb tulip planting often takes place in the autumn. This is effective for tulips for a few very significant reasons.
The bulbs are first and foremost protected from the dangers of winter by being planted in the fall ground. Tulip bulbs are just unable to endure the bitter cold if left outside. However, the chance for the bulbs to securely cool during the winter is made possible by planting in the fall soil, which is even more significant.
For tulips, that chilling procedure is crucial. They just cannot grow and blossom in the early spring without it, which is unfortunate.
Due to this precise fact, the majority of gardeners believe that spring blossoms are unattainable if tulip bulbs are not planted in the fall. The good news is that this isn’t the case. Although planting tulip bulbs for spring blossoming in the autumn is undoubtedly the most common method, it is not the only method.
In fact, it’s possible to plant your tulip bulbs in the early spring and still have them blossom a few weeks later with a little bit of help. Whether in the ground, pots, or other containers!
