Here are 10 tulips that I love and 3 you couldn't pay me to grow again.

Must grow tulips -
Negrita Double
Black Hero
La Belle Epoque
Silver Parrot
Queen of Night
Amazing Parrot
Exotic Emperor
Apricot Delight
Finola

More tulips I've grown that are good for the garden and good for cutting -
White Parrot
White Emperor
Green Spirit - Great For Selling. Very strong neck.
Dordogne
Infinity - Blooms Early. Nice color.
Purple Flag - Comes back reliably.
Purple Dream - Better in the garden than in the vase. Floppy.
Mystic Van Eijk
Foxy Foxtrot
Black Parrot **This one was beautiful but it did bloom very late and toppled in the rain**
Flaming Flag - GREAT for selling
Elegant Lady - Best for the garden. Tall. Blooms late. Okay as a cut flower.

Tulips that have given me trouble:
Antoinette
Yellow Pomponette
Charming Beauty
also
Blue Spectacle - petals easily damaged by rain.
Averyon and Amazing Grace - both bloom late, short, some issues with too much rain. Could have been my fault.

yes PLEASE do videos on daffodils and alliums!! I cannot plant tulips because of the squirrels in my yard. So I plan to deck it out with daffodils and alliums and would love to know your suggestions.

[sandydavidshofer]

Absolutely, more videos! My dad always used to say, pay attention. No sense us both making the same mistake! Thank you so much!

[vernellevale]

Would love to see videos on how you make your flower arrangements. They are so beautiful! Thanks!!

[rebeccalay]

Danielle, Thank you for reminding me to order now! I am also interested in ordering alliums and ranunculus and would love to know your preferences for these. As always, many thanks!

[DonnaSea]

Please put together a video on Daffodil bulbs. Interested to know your thoughts on which perform the best!

[christmasczar]

Thank you for this list. I’d love one for daffodils. Deer pressure in my yard is heavy so I depend on the daffodils.

I always enjoy your videos and learn so much. At the end of this one where you are walking between the borders, it is truly a paradise!

[lindamartin]

Your so blessed to be able to grow those beautiful tulips. I live in the Deep South we can’t grow them here. Love your channel. Your so great at gardening and designing your gardens. God Bless you and yours!

Danielle try making a small slit at the top of the tulip and that will prevent it from stretching or growing once in a vase.

Thank you for your list! I have yellow pomponette and I don’t think that I have ever cut it. I call it my emotional support tulip because the bright colour is such a happy sight to see after winter. My favourites for cutting are the Van Eijk series. They are large, tall, sturdy and easy to use together or with other types of flowers. They also have a remarkable vase life.

Great list of bulbs, I think everyone would watch you in hour long bulb videos!!!! 🌷🌷🌷
Love the purple ones and the white one!!!

[firehorsewoman]

Definitely more videos in bulbs, but will gladly listen to whatever garden topic you put forth. Hi Grace!

[rb]

Perfect timing! I’ve decided to add more tulips to my garden and was just making my selections. I’m in a similar climate as you and this information is invaluable. Thank you.

[createstuff]

I’ve grown several hundred Aveyron at a time in Nashville, TN (7a). They did very well here as a garden tulip.

[disneyland]

Beautiful video! Yes, create more bulb videos, like daffodils, and lilies.

[marymurphy]

Hi Danielle, Thanks for that wonderful video about tulip bulbs you always have the best info and I'm looking forward to more bulb tutorials. Unfortunately up here in Connecticut the deer love my tulips so I can't grow them but I admire the ones you have shown us on your videos. 😍

[jeannet]

Of course we want more bulb videos!! Thank you!!

[sandygar]

Can you show us how to save or lay a seeds please? I cannot wait to try a couple of your favorite tulips😃👏

[glendahill]

Living in a borderline area for growing tulips, was sent some free tulips in an order of other bulbs, gave them 6 weeks in the fridge, then pot planted, a lovely success, so am tempted to try some next year, they are enchanting 😊. Thank you for sharing your favourites.
