The best varieties for forcing: general recommendations for choosing

Unlike garden flowers, which are freely placed on sunny, blown by the breeze flower beds, greenhouse tulips grow in close quarters and stuffiness, with insufficient natural light. In such unfavorable conditions, only the healthiest and most unpretentious plants can form strong flower stalks and large buds, therefore, for flower growers engaged in forcing tulips for commercial purposes, the main criteria for choosing a planting material are the unpretentiousness and disease resistance of the variety.

In addition to the above qualities, you should also pay attention to:

• decorativeness (color, size and shape) of tulip rims;
• the duration of the preservation of the cut buds;
• biological characteristics of the class to which the variety belongs;
• possible terms of receiving flowers.

Tulips "Christmas Marvel"

To accumulate biologically active substances necessary for growth and flowering, tulip bulbs need to stay in the cold for a certain time. The length of this mandatory cooling period varies significantly between cultivars. Depending on this parameter, tulip varieties are subdivided into:

• early ones - capable of blooming for the New Year holidays;
• medium - having the opportunity to dissolve the buds for Valentine's Day;
• late - long-accumulating forces, suitable for distillation by March 8.

Advice. When buying bulbs for forcing, look at their caliber. The best flowers are obtained from elite planting material with a diameter of more than 40 mm.

Blue Heron

The neatly formed double satin petals of the “blue diamond” (as the name of the variety is translated) look bright and bold. The deep color is mesmerizing, it is difficult to look away from it. Terry tulips are called peony tulips because their petals are layered on top of each other, forming a bud, similar to a peony flower. Blue Diamond is equally good for forcing and growing in a flower garden.

Members of the Fringed class have many fans. This is not surprising, because the petals, fringed with fringe, look like they are covered with frost. The shape of the petals of the Blue Heron tulip evokes associations with the silhouette of a heron (besides, “blue heron” is a literal translation of the name of this variety). The shade goes from dark purple at the base of the bud to light purple at the edges of the petals.

It is important that the flower bulbs have time to root properly.

The immersion depth of flower bulbs in the soil depends on the terrain and plant parameters: it varies from 10 to 20 cm, on average it is 3 times the height of the seedling. The distance between the seedlings is the same. Before planting, a plot of land must be dug up qualitatively. Immediately before placement, the soil must be loosened to a depth of 30 cm. The soil must be well moistened during planting, the planting site must be carefully sprinkled with sand and earth. The Verandi variety blooms for a relatively long time, starting to bloom when the temperature approaches 18 ° C.

The flowering periods of Verandi tulips can be divided into 4 groups:

• early - the second half of March;
• medium - the first half of April;
• late - second half of April - first decade of May;
• very late - the second and third decades of May.

Verandi tulip bulbs must be dug up annually at the turn of June-July for vegetative propagation, when the foliage becomes dry and changes color, and the scales turn pale brown. Dug out bulbs must be examined and discarded sick and old ones, remove obsolete root processes and scales. Put the rest of the bulbs for 2 weeks in a room where fresh air freely flows, the temperature is maintained at 23-25 ​​° C.
