Nice video. I plant 250,000 bulbs every fall in the northeast. We plant on a grand scale, meaning we plant the bulbs less than 2 inches apart (most home gardens suggest 4-6 inches apart). There’s a big festival celebrating our city’s Dutch heritage every spring. We even invite residents to come out and dig up bulbs to take home.

Wow thanks for this great info, including the fact that Costco bulbs are so cost effective and so beautiful!

I plant 1000 bulbs a year. I love an overcrowded bed.

Your tulips definitely don’t look disorganized. They looks amazing!

Loving the colors and mixing the bags together is genuine!

This is so pretty, and thanks for the advice trying to get ready for opening season.

I really like the idea of mixing them up and letting nature take its course!

This is GORGEOUS! Tulips are my favorite flower and this has inspired me so much.

Your rock walls look great! Gorgeous flowers.

Thank you so much for the explanation. It makes so much sense.

Your tulip planting bed is beautiful! I think I will try your method.

Obviously I'm 16 months late to this video; however, if you add bone meal to your bed every fall and spring, you'll help your bulbs and they'll flower beautifully. Tulips need at least 12 weeks of cold in order to bloom. If you live in a hot zone like I do (9B), then you must either buy pre-chilled bulbs or dig them, wash them, and refrigerate them for 3+ months before planting again. Edited to add that I have phlox subulata planted in a berm. I love it. Nice video and well done.

Muscari are one of my favorite bulb flowers!! I'm looking forward to seeing your bloom next spring.

What a beautiful garden you have created for your community to enjoy too.

Thanks for an informative video. Liked the tip on digging up and sorting.

Gorgeous. I love it! Great information.

Wow!! Absolutely beautiful!!😍😍😍👌🏽💐💐💐💐

Absolutely breathtaking tulip arrangements.

I love the crowded look..stunning

So beautiful ! How gorgeous your garden...

Love the combination of flowers. Your garden looks awesome and the information in your video was helpful. Thanks!

So informative, and such a nice flower bed - would love to see a follow ups!

Love it. Love how you detail and not boring. Great job!

Absolutely beautiful!!

I love this tulip mix design......”gorgeous!”

Thank you for identifying the grape hyacinths! I have some i received as a gift but didn't know what they were called. They are lovely and easy to grow

Those tulips are absolutely GORGEOUS! WOW

New subscriber. Great video. I love tulips. I’m in zone 9b Northern California. I plan to plant 600 bulbs in pots. Thank you for the idea of planting zinnias after my tulips die back. Your rock wall is so beautiful. God Bless you and your family 🙏🏾

Your tulips look very nice…love the variety and different heights

Totally enjoyed this video… thanks so much for the info…

Well explained! Thank you for the tips!

Blessings for you , you are wonderful. I learn a lot from your tutorials.

Very lovely flowers! Thank you for sharing this video.

You could plant the baby tulip bulbs in the phlox as well... Such a nice flower bed.. Great job!

I love your display of tulips. So so beautiful!! You have taught me a lot in this video, and I am going to try to follow your advise for getting a full display like yours. I also love the flocks. Very pretty blue color. I want to try and plant these around my shed. Thanks again for sharing. I just had to subscribe. God Bless you and your family.

So beautiful your arrangement of mixed tulips and the soft purple phlox, just love it. I know well where you live, so good for tulips and all sort of beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing so much information and artistic garden.

Beautifully stunning! :)

Love the videos! My own small batch of tulips just came up recently 😊

So beautiful. Wow!

Beautiful colours and flower's nice graden wow👏

Wonderful, thorough information!!! Thank you for taking the time to share and show examples. Looking forward to more of your videos. God bless ❤️

Love your beautiful tulips and creeping phlox especially in the rock wall setting. The info you provided was very informative and makes me feel better after spending quite alot on bulbs this fall that I can replant them again next spring as you described.

It is absolutely gorgeous ❤

Thanks 🙏.Gorgeous garden.👍😍

It surprises me that people never mention that the really nice phase of tulip flowers doesn't last very long, and afterwards the plants slowly flop over and die off and look pretty terrible while they're doing so. This is particularly true because tulips are usually planted in really visible locations.

Beautiful! We moved to Nova Scotia & have stone walls & will do the same thing.

Zinnias are my favorite! I put them in summer when my tulips are done. I also planted some tulips bulbs today, along with crocus & muscari. The Muscari is purple so I planted it in front of these fiery orange tulips...I think the contrast will be nice in spring. Also the phlox is one of my favorites...just planted a bunch this year so hopefully will see a nice show next year

I love the wall beautiful ❤️

Wow beautiful man congrats, thanks for sharing

Your fadern is beautifully and well managed flowerrs in a pattern ❤

I love the whole set up! GORGEOUS! I LOVE the creeping phlox & mixed tulips!

WOW! Your tulip garden is beautiful! And even more beautiful that you got such a good deal at Costco! I have not had that problem with tulips not coming back as full. I am in Zone 4B and planted a cheap bag of tulips a few years back. They still come back every year...bigger, brighter, stronger...and of course, they have spread now. I read that some varieties do come back more reliable than others. Darwin hybrid tulips tend to return more reliably and with more vigor. I'm sure that must be what I have. That or Superman tulips! Ha! I agree with your assessment and tips though, but I would add that for better long-term results, look for Darwin's.

Love what you have done 👍

Wow! So beautiful. I love tulip . I have planted for a while now. Yes you're right on. The smaller bed is natural like and your rock beds are stunning. Great information on the work you did in order to create such beautiful beds

I like the 'disorganized' look. Reminds me of wildflowers. :)

nice job. good to know how to organize and plant

Love how you have planted these along a rock wall! It mimics how they would grow in nature (mountains of the Middle East). If you want to extend the bloom season of your ground cover areas, you could also plant hardy Plumbago (leadwort). It has nice foliage that would contrast the fern texture of your phlox and has pretty cobalt blue flowers. It is summer to fall blooming. The best varieties of perennializing tulips are species, kaufmanniana, gregii, Fosteriana, and Darwin hybrids. Narcissus do really well perennializing.

Just found you. Fabulous tulips.....one can never have too many. I live in the Great Lakes and we are getting 6+ inches of snow today! Early April Fools joke!!! Great tips and video.

I agree with you, mixing them together is a beautiful array of color and flowers and I like that you have tips continually blooming instead of all dying at the same time.

All this time I thought I was doing something wrong because of getting a lot of foliage and fewer and fewer tulips. Your video has given me renewed confidence and a new plan. I'll aspire to have a bank of tulips like yours. Thank you. I have had muscari for many years and have had the best performance from the Armeniacum.

Lol I am so that neighbor that will interrupt your video to tell you I love the flowers. They are beautiful.

Thank you for the info. It's a little bit of work if you have a huge area. I just want to do a meadow effect. Plus a pretty container of purple and white. Thank you also for letting us know Costco has bulbs at a really good price. My journey will start in late October here in Ga.

Beautiful splash of colour.

❤amazing tulips show.wow😊

I have creeping phlox, muscari, white candy tuft, (which drapes down the rocks just like your phlox does in the video). Beautiful combination and great if you have rocky soil….which I do. Also have daffodils, tulips all kinds of hostas, ferns, coral bells, Lenten roses in my shadier areas. I have lots of anchor plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons,hydrangeas, dogwoods, fruit and nut trees and of course roses since my husband never promised me a rose 🌹 garden…I planted my own🌹! 🤭 I watch videos like yours and appreciate you sharing your tips and beautiful yard. I love gardening and transforming areas and I am currently working on two different areas that will be secret gardens. It has been a lot of back breaking work over the years and 2 years ago we got a tractor which was a game changer. Cleared a whole back area that had lots of stumps, blackberry bushes, weeds that were up to my neck. Then we leveled it (this area was at least a quarter acre) then we bought in so many loads of top soil and planted 30 arborvitae’s to outline the area. I have been digging up and dividing plants from the other areas of my yard with most of the plants I listed in the beginning. I also collect my own seeds. I am a plant addict and KZfaq gardening is kinda like an alcoholic anonymous meeting for me…i stopped buying, started propagation, dividing collecting seeds and swapping with friends and neighbors. It’s an awesome support system 😊🌿🌹🌸🍀🌲🌻🌷🤭

Amazing and beautiful def will do that for next year.

Thanks for the tulip info. As for zinnias you mentioned, I've grown them for two years (the tall, "State Fair" version). They are lovely indeed, but you didn't mention that they are annuals. As I get older, it becomes more difficult to plant annuals, so I'm switching to perennials like coneflowers and such. The same is true of tulips... they need annual digging, sorting, cleaning, storing, and replanting. Love them, but so much work.

Amazing very helpful information

Even passer-bys say how beautiful ur flowers are and they are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this!! I love it where did u buy ur phlox amd how big were they when u planted them

Very informative Thanks so much

Looks amazing 😻

What a gift to your neighborhood!

In my area (South Jersey) the muscari tend to bloom in phase more with the daffodils. By the time the tulips start to show the muscari are usually past their prime. The rich blue of the muscari and yellow daffs make a great match.

Beautiful work ! I live in the city and squirrels dig up almost anything I plant . . .

Very industrious! Stunning show. I am coaxing an alternating planting of pink white and blue ground phlox. I think your mono colour of blue sets off your multi coloured tulips best.

Only a year late on viewing! Awesome design and advice. So, would you suggest I just keep adding a few tulips each year to keep it full and pretty? As a senior I can no longer do much digging and getting on my knees is only in my past now. You could make a nice living designing landscape. Very talented. Thank you Mary

Beautiful garden ❤

Dude if you woukd focus on your gardening your channel would grow like crazy. Great info and awesome display of tulips!

I actually like how you planted it.

You got a nice garden man

Beautiful ! The grape hyacinth are very evasive. Once you plant them, they are very hard to get rid of.

I love it 😍! I planted over 500 last year but spaced them 1-2" apart and wished I didn't... I'm digging them all up this week and starting over soon with more tulip bulbs on the way. I stick to the Darwin Hybrid. I try to get the ones I really love online but gosh dang, they were sold out by July 🙄

Hello I love your tulip garden, and more liked when hear you are going to dig them up and plant Zinnia's , what exactly I am looking for, I used to plant Zinnia's but this year I planted Tulips as well, all looks good however would like to know, when I can dig them out to plant Zinnia's. Thank you so much and will appreciated for your comments . Regards..

I buy my bulbs at Costco too as they are really reasonable. I shop at different Costcos & search for the different varieties at that time. Darwin tulips seem to come back pretty well for me….I’m still researching Triumph ones.

Beautiful garden! I was wondering why mines look so deformed. I was never a fan of plants that have bulbs like lilies and tulips happen to be in my garden. I probably won’t keep them because of how much work I need to put in from watching your video. Good tips and it’s not for everyone for sure.

that's Beautiful!

This was so helpful! and timely for me, as my tulips are starting to drop their petals. I moved from zone 5 to zone 4 and am still adjusting. I will lift for the first time as I have noticed that in two summers of leaving them in their planting spots in this zone, there has been a change in the flower size - fabulous in summer one, nice but not fab in summer two. Lifting will hopefully do the trick so that summer three is a good one for them. I also grow the species tulips, the low - original? - types, which I have never lifted and they seem to be fine. I would be interested to know if you 'feed' yours during the bloom period? Re your video - you are a good communicator (nice delivery pace and very clear) and it is easy to absorb the information you provide. Thank you!

Another trick if you don't mind a spring mix of flowers is to add a bunch of daffodils in your flower beds to help fill in the bare spots where the tulips don't bloom. Daffodils aren't nearly as vibrant as your tulips, but reliable for coming back every year, and there are some beautiful varieties to choose from now. I can only plant daffodils due to the dear pressure in my area, but they are very beautiful as well.

so pretty! I'm sure you already know, but you don't have to buy more creeping phlox plants. You can divide the plants you have to make more plants. I have done it with mine--in a very quick sloppy way too--and it has worked wonderfully. For anyone reading: Just get a trowel and dig up a portion of your creeping phlox and plant the clump in the area where you want it. Super simple. Sometimes it may not bloom the year you do this or it may not bloom until it gets well established, but it will, just give it time. Keep it moist the first couple months.

Very interesting and educational video. I completely agree with you as last year I had no clue on Tulip bulb sizes and why sorting is a important key for Tulip flowers in following spring. It is more like preparation for Tulip bulbs and deadheading, drying, cleaning and sorting are all part of this. It does take few weeks for this preparation but you get reward next spring. Thanks for leaving comment on my video (Tulip Bulbs after Bloom | How to Clean, Sort and Store) however I guess because you added link in the comment, it has been disappeared under my video. I notice YT marks any comment spam if added with link (happen to me few times). Would you mind leaving such a nice comment again? Thanks in advance and I love your DIY bits. I am following your channel with sub and keep it up good work.

They are beautiful

Very nice garden…❤

🍃🌷🌷🌷Gorgeous!🌷🌷🌷🍃

Gorgeous, bravo

In the UK I plant the mid season Darwin tulips for naturalising in my borders. But I plant 12" deep! This stops the squirrels digging them up, plus the little bulbuls that form on the mother bulb get a chance to develop properly, and I get decent flowers year on year, which increase in number. So if you choose the right varieties you can avoid all of this digging up and replanting. Having said that, if you don't mind the work (and cost) involved, you'll always get the very best displays by replanting every year. Your display is stunning.

Hi , thanks for your video, you gave info I didn't find elsewhere. When did you take the bulbs out ?

I uprooted tulips in 2016 and planted it. I have not dug them up and multiple grew... It's 2024!! Jah know!! I left them alone!!

I had a question on your phlox. How many plants did you start with and how long does it take to become dense and established? Thanks!

Beautiful 💜🌺

I like it it Is vert pretty.
