You cannot remain indifferent to tulips, they fall in love at first sight.
Tulip classification
Fans of bulbous plants are familiar with their diversity firsthand. The number of varieties of tulips rolls over and it is not surprising that in certain moment needed to be classified.
The first attempt to divide all species into groups with common features was undertaken back in 1913 in the Netherlands and Great Britain, but the work was completed only by 1929. Although it would be wrong to say that it is over, since to this day an international register is maintained, which includes varietal tulips. Tulip varieties that are outdated are excluded, and new breeding achievements are added. Now the register includes 2500 species, and in nature there are more than ten thousand.
According to modern classification, on the this moment 15 classes of tulips are allocated. They, in turn, are combined into four large groups: early flowering, medium flowering, late flowering, tulip species and their hybrids (all are included wild species and those varieties that are descended from them).
The first group includes two classes: simple and terry. To the second: the triumph of tulips and Darwinian hybrids. To the third group: lily-colored, fringed, green-colored, parrot, simple and terry late, Rembrandt tulips. To the fourth: tulips of Kaufman, Greig, Foster and other species and hybrids. Let's take a closer look at each class.
early simple tulips
Varieties of tulips of this group have been known since the 17th century. They are medium-sized, strong, therefore resistant to wind and bad weather. Distinctive feature, which combines all types into one group - this is early dates flowering (end of April). The flowers are goblet or cup-shaped and 6-7 cm in size. The color of the petals is most often yellow-red. color scheme, but the flowers can be white. For cutting, they are not entirely suitable due to their small stature.
Some varieties have been cultivated unchanged since the 17th century, for example, Kaiserkrone. Recently, dwarf tulips have also been included in the class. Dutch varieties of this class occupy not too much in the fields large area, about 8% of all the total mass. One of the best in its homeland is considered Purple Prince, a stunning hybrid with bright colors and large flowers. Popular varieties are also: Christmas Dream, Candy Prince, Mickey Mouse, Brilliant Star and others.
Early double tulips
Early terry tulips, varieties of which have also been known since the 17th century, are popular with flower growers due to early flowering and bright cheerful color. In height, they are very miniature (20-30 cm), but they have large flowers, which, when fully opened, can be up to 8 cm in diameter and have a long flowering period.
The lush cupped double flower is the result of a double perianth. If ordinary tulips have only six petals, then in representatives of this class it doubles. In horticultural culture, these varieties are not particularly popular and are most often grown as potted plant or for forcing.
The second group is represented by two classes - these are triumph tulips and Darwin hybrids.
Darwinian hybrids
These giants were singled out as a separate class only in 1960. These are very large (60-80 cm in height) tulips. Varieties of tulips of this class have several advantages, they are resistant to spring frosts, to the variegation virus and are perfectly preserved when cut.
Blooms begin in early May. Large goblet-shaped flowers most often have a red color (two-color hybrids have also appeared) and grow up to 10 cm in size, which pleasantly distinguishes them from other flowers. Used as horticultural crops, and for distillation.
Triumph tulips
Representatives of the class were bred at the beginning of the 20th century; Darwin hybrids and simple early tulips were used for crossing. The varieties are characterized by large goblet flowers, a peduncle up to 70 cm high. Hybrids are characterized by a variety of colors from snow-white to rich purple hues.
Flowering begins in late April and often continues until mid-May. This is currently the most numerous and widespread class (25% of all species). Great for garden breeding, cuttings and forcings and have a high multiplication factor. Popular varieties: Golden Melody, Antarctica (white), Mata Hari, Ile de France, Don Quixote, etc.
The third group includes late-flowering hybrids, all classified according to flower shape.
Late single and double tulips
Plants of these two classes differ from their early relatives in larger sizes (peduncle height 50-70 cm) and late dates flowering (mid-May). simple tulips have a goblet shape with a wide bottom and blunt petals. There are multi-flowered hybrids, when several buds develop on one peduncle. Perfect for cut flowers and bouquets.
Late flowering varieties are also called peony for their shape, which makes them unstable, because of this they cannot withstand wind or rain. Both classes reproduce well vegetatively. The color of the flowers is very diverse, it can be snow-white or almost black, pink or purple, there are also bicolor varieties.
green tulips
They were singled out in a separate class quite recently - in 1981, and we can confidently say that this newest varieties tulips. Their singularity lies in the fact that the backs of the petals retain their green color throughout the entire flowering period, in contrast to the overall bright color (white, yellow, red, pink, purple hues), this looks very impressive.
The size of the peduncle can be from medium to high, the leaves are narrow, and the flowers are within 7 cm in size. They bloom late, in mid-May, they look good and are very popular in bouquets, as well as in group plantings. It is worth paying attention to such varieties as: Spring Green, China Town, Golden Artist.
fringed tulips
These are plants of amazing beauty. Large flowers on a long peduncle (80 cm) have the shape of a glass. But the petals are of the greatest decorative value, the edges of which are cut with a pattern, like frost in the cold, the smallest needles give the impression of weightlessness and fragility of the flower. The color scheme is different, but negligent sellers sometimes try to sell defective goods passing it off as original variety, so you need to know that black fringed tulips have not yet been bred.
Varieties are obtained on the basis of the selection of Darwinian hybrids or late varieties which are very well preserved when cut. The first fringed tulip was grown in 1930, and they were separated into a separate class only in 1981. Varieties: Cambridge, Mont Amur, Flamenco, Mascotte and others.
lily-colored tulips
The name of the class speaks for itself, the shape resembles a lily, especially when fully opened in sunny weather. These are medium-sized hybrids 50-60 cm high. They bloom late - in mid-May. Breeders have been working on them for a long time, since the 16th century, so the newest varieties of tulips differ from the very first, original ones. The following hybrids are very popular and beautiful: Ballad Gold (pictured) and White, West Point, Jacqueline, Pretty Wumen.
Parrot tulips: varieties, description
One of the most unusual and striking hybrids among modern tulips. These are mostly medium-sized varieties, but they have large flowers that grow up to 12 cm in diameter when fully opened. They have been known for a long time and it is believed that they appeared as a result of a genetic mutation of ordinary flowers, and not special selection.
In the 17th century in France, parrot tulips were first noticed and identified. Dutch varieties became known only after a hundred years. A characteristic feature is the flower petals, which have uneven wavy edges, reminiscent of bird feathers and have a bright color, which is the reason for the choice of the name of the entire class.

They prefer calm places and go well with other inhabitants of the flower beds, besides, they easily and quickly multiply by daughter bulbs. Varieties of parrot tulips: Black Perrot, Rococo, Super Perrot, Fleming.

Varieties: Mona Lisa, Union Jack, Orange Bowl, Princess Irene (pictured), Prince Carnival, Sorbet, Olympic Flame and others.
Tulips Kaufman
These are early flowering and undersized hybrids that bloom in mid-April. The same group includes varieties obtained by crossing Kaufman tulips with other varieties. Strong and low (15-25 cm), but with large flowers of various colors (solid or most often variegated). They are best used for Alpine rollercoaster and in rockeries.
When fully opened, Kaufman tulips look like a six-pointed bright star; in group plantings, this is just an impressive sight. It is worth noting the name of Kaufmann's tulip varieties: Giuseppe Verdi (pictured), Johann Strauss, Shakespeare. Musical and romantic names are quite consistent with the delicate appearance of flowers.
Foster Tulips
Foster's tulips got their name in honor of the professor. They are larger than the previous class. In height, the peduncle grows up to 30-50 cm, while the bud itself is 1/3 (15 cm). The shape of the flower of Foster's tulips is goblet or cup-shaped with a slight interception, as if it has a waist. The color is bright in orange-red colors. But there are varieties of Foster. In their natural environment, they grow only in Central Asia.

The history begins in Ancient East where they occupied important place in the Seljuk culture, and then in Ottoman Empire where they were considered a symbol of peace and tranquility.
AT Western Europe the flower appeared relatively recently, for the first time tulips were planted in 1530 in Portugal. And after more than a hundred years, they conquered Holland, where they became perhaps the most beloved garden flower. Now in the Netherlands there is even the Royal Society of Bulbous Plants.
