The flower consists of six petals and comes in a wide range of color combinations, including both single and bicolored varieties. Tulips grow to a height of 10–80 cm. There are many varieties of tulips, divided into three main groups: early, mid-season, and late-blooming. Tulips are a symbol of spring, and their colorful diversity is unparalleled.
Ecology:
The tulip originally comes from Persia and made its way to Europe, especially the Netherlands, which is now the largest producer of tulips in the world. Tulips thrive best in well-drained soil and prefer sunny locations. They are low-maintenance and resilient to cooler conditions, making them ideal for spring planting in gardens across Europe.
