We specialize in growing a quality French tulip. Our tulips are extra-long (up to 42”105cm). A combination of a very long dormancy period (our northern Vermont winters), planting techniques, and bulb selection help achieve the quality we are known for. French tulips are long-stemmed and large-headed.
Three grades of tulips:
(Left) The longest stemmed, largest headed for the variety in a French wrap
(Middle) Comparable head size but shorter stems in a French wrap
(Right) Slightly smaller heads and sometimes shorter length in a clear sleeve.

Cutting Stage
We cut our tulips with between 20 and 50% color. Bunches are 10 stems and a box contains 200 stems (10 bunches).
