when do tulips bloom

Tulips generally bloom in the spring, with the blooming season lasting from March to May. The exact timing depends on the climate, variety, and region. Early-blooming tulips usually start in March or early April, mid-season varieties bloom in April, and late-blooming types can flower into May or even early June. The bloom period for tulips typically lasts 1 to 3 weeks per variety, but by planting different types that bloom at various times, the tulip season can be extended for several weeks. Weather conditions and soil temperature also affect bloom timing, with warmer conditions encouraging earlier flowering and cooler conditions delaying it. For example, in the Netherlands, the peak tulip bloom tends to be in mid to late April.
