Posted by Marilyn (Kentucky - Zone 6a) on Aug 22, 2014 10:22 PM 'Flair' is a great one to grow, and it wakes up spring with its flowers. They are variable, so each bloom will have an exciting and different look to it. A group of 'Flair' tulips in bloom is a mesmerizing sight. 'Flair' is known to return in following years.

Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Feb 5, 2015 11:03 PM Excellent bulb to force. Needs a couple of weeks in pot to get root growth started, then 15 weeks of cold treatment (35 to 48 degrees). Blooms last longer if placed in "cool," sunny spot (60 degrees or so) to bloom. For this last move before bloom, I set mine in a basement under fluorescent lights; when it blooms, it gets moved upstairs to be appreciated. [ Reply to this comment | |
