Coupled with the occasional white flowers, this causes this beautiful mix to pop even further to the eyes.  This mix is known for its early season growth and mid season bloom, which makes them an excellent part of a spring garden.  Their stem grown to an approx. size of 14-18 inches and sport blooms that span approx. 5 inches across. They do best in full sun in a well draining soil. Tulips originate from Central Asia and were first cultivated in Persia as early as the 10th Century. They spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world throughout the centuries. Specific varieties can only be reliably propagated through rhizome proliferation, making bulbs to specific treasured varieties highly valuable. During the height of Dutch Tulipmania in the 1600's, people were known to have sold their homes, and the like, for a single bulb of certain varieties.
