Tulip cultivar Candela
The Candela tulip is the result of the work of Dutch breeders, which was produced in the same year as other popular hybrids. The flower has a high reproductive potential and can be grown from seed or using vegetative propagation methods. The only difference is in the period of plant development - the seeds will ripen into a full-fledged flower much longer, they will bloom only for 4-5 years.
Glass up to 14-15 cm high, made of dense bright yellow petals. For the winter, the bulbs are dug up or covered, this is due to the increased sensitivity of the variety to cold weather. The Candela variety goes well with other low-growing primroses in flower gardens and flower beds.
Tulip variety Orange Emperor
Tulip variety Orange Emperor has little in common with other varieties from the thirteenth class, as it differs in relatively small flowers - about 8 cm glass height, rarely a little more. This variety is also distinguished by its exotic color - it combines a rich orange color with a green shading that runs along the center of the outer side of the petal.
The stems of the Orange Emperor tulip are powerful, dense, but very short - about 30-35 cm, colored green with red-violet shading at the top. At the base, basal leaves grow, streaked with burgundy strokes. The variety grows better in the southern regions, prefers a warm and moderately humid climate. Watering is extremely rare, and you cannot do without feeding during the budding period.
Characteristics of the variety series "Dreams"

How to take care of it properly?
If you decide to start growing coreopsis, then it is important to follow all the rules for caring for the plant. Only if you adhere to all the recommendations of experts, your plants will be healthy and beautiful, and will also grow for many years on your site, delighting households, neighbors and even bystanders
Watering
All species and varieties of coreopsis belong to the category of drought-resistant plants. Accordingly, the flowers do not need abundant and frequent watering.
It is also important to ensure that there is no excessive amount of moisture (this is especially true for regions with active precipitation: rains, snows, etc.)
The amount and regularity of watering coreopsis depends to a large extent on the specific type of plant. So, for example, if flowers that are painted in pink and red tones grow on your site, then keep in mind that such plants need more moisture than any other varieties.
Top dressing
Fertilizers and feeding are not a necessary element of coreopsis care. However, it should be borne in mind that if the soil in which the plant grows is rather poor in terms of nutrients, then you should take care of their additional introduction. It is recommended to choose complex mineral fertilizers as fertilizers. On the other hand, manure and any other organic elements must be discarded.
Transfer
Due to the fact that coreopsis is a plant that grows rather quickly, it is necessary to ensure the division and transplantation of mature adults. Traditionally, this procedure is recommended no more than once every three years. To do this, the plant is carefully removed from the soil, divided into parts with a sharp knife, so that each one has roots and shoots. All plants are planted in prepared areas.
Wintering
Generally speaking, a flower does not need shelter for the winter if the temperature does not drop below minus 20 degrees. But if you live in an area with a harsh climate, then you will have to cover your coreopsis plantings for the winter with a small layer of needles and foliage. If the winter was snowy, the bushes should be freed from the snow in the spring. The plant does not like abundant moisture, which is formed due to the melting of snow in spring.
Support
As mentioned above, coreopsis is a plant that can reach a height of more than 2 meters. For this reason, some varieties (which are tall) are recommended to be tied to stable supports. This procedure is especially necessary if you are growing a flower in conditions of heavy and nutritious soil.
Pruning
While coreopsis is blooming, it is important to keep an eye on the withering flowers and prune them in time. This procedure will stimulate the emergence of new and young shoots.
It is also recommended to cut the stems in the fall season (this applies to perennial plants).
