Perhaps no flower bed in the world can do withouttulips. Without them spring holidays are unimaginable. They decorate the gardens when other flowers still do not even think of dissolving. The exotic, fimbriated and pion-shaped tulips are most loved by gardeners, who are better known as terry ones. The original look and bright color attract attention from afar, while the cut flowers cost a long time, and on the flower bed are perfectly combined with many other colors.
Pion-shaped tulips are early and latevarieties. The early ones are good for the time of blossoming, but they are not too high, why they are used mainly on alpine slides, in decorating curbs and in compositions with other plants in landscape design. Much more interesting is the late pion-shaped tulips. They have very large, ten centimeters in diameter, flowers with round wide petals. The name of the tulips was obtained due to the similarity of the flowers to peonies. Late terry varieties blossom days 10-12 after the early ones and bloom much longer - often until early June. These pion-like tulips are higher - half a meter in their average height. The stems are powerful, due to which they stand longer in the cut. Some of the varieties did not even lose a tender fragrance during breeding. Among them you can mention Alegretto, Monsella, Angelique and Cream Upstar.
Thanks to the interesting shape of the flower, whichhave pion-shaped tulips (photo), usually in planting they are brought to the fore, both in mixborders and in flower beds. Very effectively they frame the paths. An interesting design decision will be to plant the late pion-shaped tulips in a separate vase, where they will be available for inspection.
All varieties are well combined with a low anemoneand crocuses, which bloom approximately at the same time as tulips. To frame the flower bed and cover the soil between the main colors, there will be harmonious saxifrage, arabes, muscari and violets. For juiciness, you can add hazel grouses, narcissus, forget-me-nots, primroses, daisies and pansies to the mixed flower garden.
Terry tulips can boast a longhistory: the first of them was described in the middle of the 17th century. However, up to the present, not one old species has survived. Now popular are the pion-shaped tulips, whose varieties were bred in the last century: Carnaval de Nice, Uncle Tom, Maywonder, Angelique, Wirosa, Mount Tacoma, Lilac Perfection, Renown Unique, Monsella, Miranda, Upstar. Today there are new, very interesting varieties. Especially I would like to draw the attention of gardeners to such varieties:
It is possible to enumerate for a long time the modern late pion-shaped tulips. Finally, we note the main thing: among them everyone will find something personal, from which he will never again refuse.
