II. Growing Tulips
Tulips originate from the Mediterranean coast and the high mountain regions of Central Asia, West Asia and Turkey. Tulips require a climate with wet winters and cool, dry summers. Tulips like sunlight and can also grow normally in light shade. They are strongly cold-hardy; even when the winter temperature drops to -16°C, the bulbs will not freeze, and as long as the temperature is not below 8°C, tulips can still grow.
Tulips are generally grown in the open field, but now more and more flower lovers choose dwarf tulip varieties for container growing. The timing for container-grown tulips is the same as for open-field cultivation. Usually, in North China the planting time is from late September to mid-October, while in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River the planting time is before the end of November. The optimum growing temperature for potted tulips is 17-20°C; in February the room temperature should be kept at 10-15°C, and the tulips can be moved near a south-facing window to get more sunlight.
