More Tulips Emerging

Slowly but surely, more Tulip Test Gardens are emerging across the southern and western regions of the U.S.

Grace in Atlanta, GA: "The tulips started to emerge earlier but we noticed today! About a third of them have emerged!" (02/19/2021)

Kimberly in La Jolla, CA: "We are very excited to see that our tulips have emerged! Several stems are visible and they are green with some dark red coloring. We have had our typical southern California warm weather over these last couple of months. We hope to see our plants grow and bloom soon!" (02/19/2021)

Tamara in Chattanooga, TN: "[Emerged] in front garden bed. I planted 7 but a squirrel stole one. All 6 are emerged." (02/20/2021)

Spring Officially Begins March 20
