Hydrangea

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangeas brighten up any garden by growing into luscious bushes that bloom big, colorful flowers for much longer periods than other flowers. They even continue to look attractive during winter, when the flowers begin to fade and die.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, sometimes a hydrangea may not be thriving as well as it should, which means it might be time to consider transplanting it.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What does it mean to transplant a hydrangea?</span></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/hydrangea/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangeas</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> thrive in sunny but shaded locations, and love to grow in heavy clay. They require plenty of moisture, so will struggle if the soil doesn&rsquo;t get enough.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because of that, your hydrangeas may no longer be in a suitable spot in your garden. That means, in order for your hydrangeas to not only thrive but survive, they must be transplanted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Transplanting doesn&rsquo;t require any special tools or horticultural training, it simply means moving your hydrangeas to a different location in your garden. That way, you can ensure they&rsquo;re in the best place possible to produce those signature blooms for you to admire for many years to come.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When is the best time to transplant hydrangeas?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re looking to transplant an established hydrangea, the best time of year is during the fall. This is when the bush has gone dormant, meaning it has shed all its leaves and the flowers have died. Transplanting before the winter will also ensure the ground isn&rsquo;t frozen, which can make digging much more difficult. This means, for those in warmer climates, the window is a little larger and you can transplant any time up to February.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is possible to transplant a hydrangea during the spring, but any later - especially during the height of a hot summer - and you risk damaging or killing the plant.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you transplant hydrangeas?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Follow our step-by-step guide to transplanting your hydrangeas. In order to do this, you will need:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A shovel</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A full watering can</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Garden sheers</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A bag of compost</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Prune the hydrangea</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your hydrangea is established and has been planted for a number of years, then you&rsquo;ll need to prune it before you attempt to move it. Be brave and cut back a lot, which can risk next year's flowers, however, this will help it to root itself in its new location.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Choose the new location</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The location you choose to move your hydrangea to should get an equal amount of sun and shade, preferably receiving shade during the afternoon. The ground should also drain well, so make sure it&rsquo;s not close to standing water or in a hole or valley.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Dig a hole at the new location</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you&rsquo;re confident you know where you want your hydrangea to be, it&rsquo;s time to dig. Because hydrangeas don&rsquo;t have deep roots, you shouldn&rsquo;t need to dig too deep - around ten inches should be enough, and around twenty inches in diameter. By digging the hole at the new location first, you prevent unnecessary damage to the hydrangea. Remove any large stones or debris you may find in the soil.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4: Dig up the hydrangea</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you&rsquo;re happy with the hole at the new location, carefully dig around the hydrangea. To do this, drive your shovel vertically into the soil, and scoop slowly. Do this in a circle around the bush until you get to the root ball. Make sure you keep as many of the roots intact as possible. Depending on the age of your hydrangea, the root ball may be quite large, and therefore quite heavy. If this is the case, you may need help supporting the bush and lifting it from the ground.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 5: Place the hydrangea in its new location</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Place the hydrangea in the center of the hole you dug in step 3, making sure the root ball is on solid, flat soil. Replace the soil, making sure the rootball and the soil around it are wet. As you fill in the hole, use compost to add nutrients to the soil, and make sure the soil isn&rsquo;t too loose so it can support the weight of the bush unaided.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At this stage, you will also want to replace the soil you dug out when removing the hydrangea from its original location.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 6: Add more compost</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help the hydrangea re-establish itself in its new location, add a couple of inches of compost and ensure the area is watered thoroughly. If you&rsquo;ve transplanted during the fall, you may not need to water it yourself over the following weeks and months, but during sunny spells, make sure the ground doesn&rsquo;t get too dry. Once spring arrives, add some more compost and water regularly to encourage growth.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea transplanting tips and advice</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Transplanting your hydrangea is a relatively straightforward process, but can be tricky for those with limited gardening experience. Below are a few extra tips to help it go as smoothly as possible.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure the hydrangeas will receive enough shade, especially in the afternoon when the sun is at its hottest</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Transplant well in advance of the first frost of the year, which will make the process difficult</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The older a hydrangea is, the harder it is to transplant and re-establish, so don&rsquo;t put off moving it if the need arises</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure the hole is deep enough in the spot you&rsquo;re moving it to before digging up the hydrangea - this prevents it from being exposed to the elements for too long</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try not to damage or tear the rootball - leaving as much intact as possible will help it to re-establish in its new spot</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don&rsquo;t forget to make sure your hydrangea gets enough water, particularly as the hydrangea re-establishes</span></li>

A Guide to Transplanting Hydrangeas

Tulips

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips are keen spring flowers, flowering between March and May to fill gardens and parks with a variety of eye-catching colors. </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tulips/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are low-maintenance flowers but do require the right conditions in order to achieve their full potential.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our guide, we&rsquo;ll tell you everything you need to know about how to care for tulips, including all the wheres, hows, whens, and whys.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulip care</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While tulip care is relatively simple, they can&rsquo;t be left to fend for themselves entirely if you want to give them the best chance at flowering. So long as you follow our guide, you should have beautiful tulips every spring for many years to come.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lighting</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips love the sun, but also appreciate a little shade. The more sun they can get during the spring the better. Consider planting your bulbs beneath a tree, which will provide more shade as the summer approaches.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Soil</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your tulips must be planted in soil that drains well, as too much water can be harmful. Soil with a pH level that is neutral to slightly acidic is preferred, and a couple of inches of peat-free compost will give them all the nutrients they need.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Watering</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips only need around an inch of water per week, so don&rsquo;t often require additional watering, except during long periods of dry weather. During particularly wet periods, you may want to consider moving your tulips into a covered spot if they&rsquo;re planted in pots.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Temperature and humidity</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips need a variety of temperatures, so do well in regions with cold winters and hot summers. The cold during the winter helps the bulbs store nutrients and kill diseases, while the warmer weather encourages growth. While tulips can grow nicely in humid climates, they do prefer to grow where it&rsquo;s drier.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you do live in a humid region and are keen on growing tulips, consider growing them in a pot inside where you can control the temperature and water.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fertilizers</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When planting your bulbs, consider adding a thin layer of bone meal to the bottom of the hole. Once planted, a couple of inches of peat-free compost will also provide your tulips with plenty of nutrients.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pruning</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips don&rsquo;t need to be pruned and should be left to grow until they have turned brown. This means the plant has died, which usually doesn&rsquo;t happen until the summer, around June or July. Attempting to prune the foliage around your tulips could damage or kill them.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Caring for tulips in different environments</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips look great in any garden or home, whether they&rsquo;re in the ground, a pot, or a vase. Below, we&rsquo;ll take a look at the best ways to care for tulips in a variety of environments.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to care for tulips in the ground</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips are relatively hardy, but the key is planting your bulbs at the right time of year. Planting the bulbs in the fall, before the first frost of the year, will give them the best chance of flowering beautifully during the spring. So long as they receive the right amount of sun and water - as well as a couple of inches of fertilizer after planting - you can leave your tulips to do their own thing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the summer, after your tulips have died, you can add a new layer of compost or liquid fertilizer to the ground to encourage growth for next year - however, this doesn&rsquo;t guarantee they will flower again. To do this, you may want to consider removing the old bulbs and planting new ones during the fall to start the process over again.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to care for tulips in a pot</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulip care for potted tulips is similar to those planted in the ground. They still require the same level of water and sunlight, as well as nutrient-rich soil. However, it&rsquo;s also important to consider the following:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pot must be the right size - at least 18 inches wide and 15 inches deep - and be able to drain excess water</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can still layer your tulips in a pot to make them look full and dense - for more information on planting tulips check out our guide</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure you don&rsquo;t overwater your tulips - they only need one inch per week</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your tulips will need plenty of sun, so if kept indoors they will thrive when placed close to a window</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to care for tulips in a vase</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because of their big, bold colors, tulips make for a beautiful flower to be kept in a vase, either as the focus or as part of a larger arrangement. Here&rsquo;s what you can do to make sure your tulips keep fresh for as long as possible:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure you have the right vase - flared vases are perfect for displaying tulips thanks to the wide neck</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep your tulips out of direct sunlight, which means avoid putting your vase on a windowsill if possible</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Change the water in the vase daily to help stop the spread of bacteria</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add flower food every time you change the water - if you don&rsquo;t have flower food, half a teaspoon of cane sugar should do the trick</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cut the stems at an angle when you change the water to encourage the tulips to drink</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">While tulips complement a variety of other </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">flowers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, avoid pairing them in a vase with other flowers that can make them wilt faster, such as daffodils</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to care for tulips after they have bloomed</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips are perennials when growing in the wild, which means they will flower every year. However, this is generally in conditions very different from those in our gardens, which means they struggle to flower the following year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because of this, to ensure you have tulips brightening up your garden every year, you will want to remove the bulbs after the flowers have died in the summer, and plant new ones in the fall.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common problems with tulips</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like all plants and flowers, tulips can face a number of problems that affect their growth. To give your tulips the best chance, check them before planting to ensure they&rsquo;re firm and healthy with no signs of disease or mold.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dealing with pests and diseases</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips are susceptible to various diseases, which can be prevented with care. These include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulip fire - a fungal disease that discolors the flower. Remove any plants, including the bulb, if you spot the signs.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Viruses - a common virus is TBV (tulip breaking virus) which produces striped or mottled flowers. These tulips should also be removed as soon as possible. TBV is spread by aphids, which can be controlled with insecticides.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rot - this can develop in wet conditions, starting with spots on the stems or leaves. Prevent by making sure the tulips aren&rsquo;t overwatered.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other pests that can damage your tulips include mites and slugs, which you can help control with insecticides.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your tulips may also attract small animals including rabbits and squirrels looking for a meal, as well as larger animals such as deer. You may want to cover your tulips with a bird net or screen, or treat your plants with non-toxic repellent.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overwintering</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips love the cold, but they don&rsquo;t love ice. To ensure your bulbs don&rsquo;t freeze over winter, make sure they&rsquo;re planted in well-draining soil. If your bulbs are planted in a pot, store them in a shed or garage so they&rsquo;re protected from the harsh cold.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also remove them from the ground, allow them to dry, and store them in a well-ventilated container in a thin layer of soil, sand, or similar.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Propagating tulips</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Propagating tulips can be a slow process, which involves removing the small bulblets that grow as the tulip grows. It is these bulblets that will mature into tulip bulbs, however, this will take several years. Once the bulb has matured, it can be planted to grow the same type of tulip as the parent bulb.</span></p>

A Guide to Tulip Care

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangeas are a beautiful flower that will bloom year after year and provide huge bursts of brilliant color. However, to continue blooming, certain <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/hydrangea/">hydrangeas</a> need to be pruned, or else it may affect how it flowers the following year. Hydrangeas also tend to keep growing, and pruning helps control growth so they don&rsquo;t become untidy, woody, or out of control.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But how do you know which hydrangeas to prune, and how? Follow our guide below to care for and prune your hydrangeas so they always produce a magnificent bloom.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When to prune hydrangeas</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best time of year to prune most hydrangeas is during late winter or spring, as this protects the emerging buds underneath. However, climbing hydrangeas should be pruned in the </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/summer-flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">summer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> after it has flowered.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you prune during the summer or </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/fall-flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fall</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> you can damage your hydrangea and risk it not flowering that year. Hydrangeas have cork-like stems which hold a lot of moisture. If pruned too late (or too early) in the year the stems can freeze, which kills the buds and prevents it from flowering.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Which hydrangeas are pruned?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending on the type of hydrangea you have in your garden, there may be a slightly different method of pruning. The following are pruned by removing the dead flower heads to reveal the bud below:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea serrata</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea macrophylla</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea quercifolia</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea aspera</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The following can be cut back a little harder, as they flower on new wood so there is less risk of harming this year's flowers:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea paniculata</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea aborescens</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pruning for hydrangea paniculata and hydrangea aborescens isn&rsquo;t vital, but not pruning means the plant will continue to grow and the </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">flowers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> will bloom at the top.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are also climbing hydrangeas, which need to be pruned during the summer after flowering:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea anomala</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea seemannii</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangea serratifolia</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re unsure which hydrangea is growing in your garden, you&rsquo;ll have to undertake some trial and error to figure it out. Deadhead the plant and watch how it grows throughout the spring and summer. If flowers grow from new wood, it&rsquo;s likely either a hydrangea paniculata or hydrangea aborescens.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to prune hydrangeas correctly</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As there are three types of hydrangeas that flower in different ways, there are three slightly different methods for pruning each.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pruning hydrangea serrata, macrophylla, quercifolia, and aspera</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, remove the dead flowerheads by cutting around an inch above a pair of buds. The buds are especially delicate, so take care not to damage them during the process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remove any weak, brittle, damaged, or thin stems from the base, as well as two older, larger stems. This will encourage new shoots, which will produce new blooms in future years. If your hydrangea is overgrown, consider cutting it liberally to give it a good chance of flourishing.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pruning hydrangea paniculata and aborescens</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These varieties of hydrangeas can be pruned in three ways: light, medium, or hard.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To light prune, remove the dead flower heads and the dead stems. You can also reshape by pruning back lightly. By doing this the plant will produce more flowers of a smaller size.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To medium prune, cut back to four buds on last year's growth.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To hard prune, cut back to two buds on last year's growth. This means there will be fewer flowers than last year, but they should be much larger.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pruning climbing hydrangeas</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overlong shoots will need to be cut back after flowering to ensure you don&rsquo;t accidentally cut away any buds. Remove any sick or dead stems at any point throughout the year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If a climbing hydrangea is established then it can handle hard pruning during the spring, but being too heavy-handed may limit blooms over the next year or two. If you need to prune heavily, try to do so gradually over several years to allow flowers to continue growing each summer.</span></p>

<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you prune your hydrangeas, make sure you know which type you have growing in your garden. If you prune a hydrangea incorrectly it can kill the flowers for the next couple of years</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrangeas can be shaped, but be careful not to over prune, as this can damage your plants</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add fertilizer to the soil around your hydrangeas before they start growing in the spring - then again during the summer. This encourages growth after pruning and will help your hydrangeas to bloom</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pruning isn&rsquo;t necessary for hydrangeas, and if you don&rsquo;t prune them they will still flower - however, the plant will get taller with most of the new flowers growing at the top</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What happens if you don&rsquo;t prune hydrangeas?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you don&rsquo;t prune your hydrangeas it isn&rsquo;t a dealbreaker - the plant will still flourish so long as it gets enough water, sunlight, and shade. However, an unpruned hydrangea will start to look unruly and will become tangled and untidy, with plenty of dead stems and flowers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flowers on an unpruned hydrangea will grow high, meaning it won&rsquo;t look as full when it blooms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you do miss your window for pruning, make sure you don&rsquo;t prune too much the following year. Compensate your pruning over the next couple of years to shape it to a manageable size to ensure you don&rsquo;t hurt the chances of it flowering.</span></p>

A Guide to Pruning Hydrangeas

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips are beautiful, colorful </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers"><span style="font-weight: 400;">flowers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that brighten up gardens, meadows, and parks every spring. They come in a variety of colors, from fiery red to muted pastel shades, and complement many other plants as they flower between March and May.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tulips/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are low-maintenance flowers and are perfect for experienced gardeners and novices alike. Planting tulips don&rsquo;t require any specific skills or knowledge, and they can be planted in the ground or in pots - that means everyone can enjoy these beautiful flowers.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When is the best time to plant tulips?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best time to plant tulips in the ground or in a pot is during the fall, between September and December, before the first frost of the year. This is when the bulbs are dormant, and the ground is still soft and workable. However, when the cold weather comes it helps to kill fungal and viral diseases that are found in the soil and so protects the bulbs. It also allows the bulbs to store nutrients ready for growth during spring.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some tulips can flower at different times, so you may want to stagger the planting of your bulbs. That way, you&rsquo;ll have a longer display throughout the spring and possibly into the early parts of summer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you plant your bulbs too early or too late you risk them not flowering or reaching their full potential.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you plant tulips?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips love living outside, and look great when they flower in the spring. Planting tulips is simple and can be done by anyone, regardless of experience. Once planted, tulips don&rsquo;t require any special maintenance. New bulbs should be planted every year as last year's bulbs may struggle to flower again.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Choose the right spot for your tulips</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips love the sun during the spring but appreciate shade as the summer arrives, so try to pick a spot that receives sun for half the day. The soil should be well-drained and fertile - too much moisture can harm the chances of your tulips flowering.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Prepare the soil</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulip bulbs slightly resemble onions, with a rounded side and a pointed side. They should be planted at about twice the depth of the height of the bulb, which is around three inches. However, if you plant them a little deeper it can encourage them to flower in subsequent years as they&rsquo;re less likely to reproduce.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re planting tulips in a border, then digging a trench may be easier. If you&rsquo;re grouping them, then dig one single larger hole depending on the number of bulbs. Allow space so you can plant each bulb two to three inches apart.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Plant the bulbs</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plant the bulbs in the soil with the pointed side facing up. Remember to leave a space of at least two to three inches between each bulb. Cover with soil, and to encourage growth you can add a thin layer of peat-free compost. Adding bone meal to the bottom of the hole before planting can also help with formation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can even consider layering your tulip bulbs, with a layer of compost in between each layer. This creates a dense and flowery display and doesn&rsquo;t damage the tulips.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4: Water the tulips</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ensure your tulips are watered at least once per week. Be careful not to overwater them - tulips need less than an inch of water a week. If you added compost during planting you shouldn&rsquo;t need to add any additional plant food or fertilizer throughout the winter or spring.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you plant tulips in a pot?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While tulips prefer the ground, they do also thrive when grown in pots. Below are the steps you need to take to ensure beautiful tulips flower every spring.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Choose the right pot</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips look great in tight groups, and your pot should be at least 18 inches wide and 15 inches deep. This is especially important if you want to layer your tulips. Your pot should also allow for good drainage, as too much water will affect growth.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Plant the bulbs</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use good quality peat-free compost. If planting a single layer of tulips, fill the pot with compost to around five inches from the top. Plant the bulbs around an inch apart, pointed side facing up, then cover with two to three inches of compost.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If layering, first fill the pot to around nine or ten inches from the top with compost. Space your bulbs slightly further apart, at one to two inches, then cover with two inches of compost. You can then plant the second layer of bulbs in the same way as the first. Finally, cover with another two inches of compost.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Sunlight and water</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure your tulips get half the day in sunlight, and the rest in shade. Water your tulips once a week, making sure not to overwater them. If you experienced prolonged periods of rain, try moving your pot to a covered location.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where is the best location to plant tulips?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">where</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to plant tulips is just as important as the </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">when</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to plant tulips. Tulips prefer a mix of sun and shade, and it&rsquo;s important that they&rsquo;re planted in nutrient-rich soil that allows for good drainage. They thrive outside when planted in the garden, but can also look stunning when layered in a pot.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What are the best flowers or plants to go with tulips?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips can be lovely flowers to plant in pots or borders. They can work alone, but can also complement other plants and flowers as part of a mixed display.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulips come in many different colors, and depending on the color of your tulips you may want a plant to contrast the boldness, or work alongside flowers of a similar color.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will want to ensure that the plants you choose to accompany your tulips also thrive in similar conditions: sun, shade, and well-draining soil.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Flowers and plants that complement tulips include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Wallflowers</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a burst of green and yellow or white</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Forget-me-nots</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a blanket of green and blue</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Honesty</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a luscious purple to compliment tulips of any color</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Bronze fennel</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which is delicate and attracts plenty of insects</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Tiarella</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for boldness to contrast the shape of your tulips</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Red hebe</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, for a purple shrub to make your tulips pop</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Bluebells</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which are small and delicate and bring a wild quality</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting tulips in different seasons</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting tulips is possible during other parts of the year, but in order to give them the best chance of flowering, you&rsquo;ll want to stick as close to the fall as possible. However, if you miss this window, there are still a few things you can do. However, because tulips flower in late spring and then become dormant during summer, planting them during the summer months would be counterproductive.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting tulips in spring</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tulip bulbs need around 14 weeks of cold temperatures to kill diseases and store the relevant nutrients in order to flower. One way to chill your bulbs is by storing them in the refrigerator in a shallow layer of compost, the pointed side facing up, in a plastic container. You&rsquo;ll then need to wrap the container in an air-tight bag to prevent contamination. Store in the fridge for around ten weeks before planting.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planting tulips in winter</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you live in a climate with warmer winters, you may be able to plant your tulips up until February. If winters are particularly warm, using the &lsquo;refrigerator trick&rsquo; may also benefit them here. If the ground isn&rsquo;t frozen, you should still be able to successfully plant tulips during the winter, so long as it isn&rsquo;t too close to the spring.</span></p>

March 8<sup>th</sup> represents a day perhaps not as well known as most, but of great importance to the global family.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over 100 years ago, a group of women gathered to protest the inequality and oppression they faced living in a Soviet bloc nation; within years the movement had spread to neighboring countries and into Europe. In 1909 the first rally occurred on U.S. Shores, in New York City; but it wasn't until the United Nations adopted the initiative in 1977 that the movement gained wide acceptance. Today, 30 nations including the United States have officially named March 8<sup>th</sup> as International Women's Day; in 2011, President Obama designated the entire month of March as Women's History Month.</p>

<p>Over the last century there have been countless women who have made history across the world for their brave journey into traditionally male oriented positions. Margaret Thatcher in politics, Sally Ride at NASA, and Amelia Earhart in aviation are just a few of thousands of examples. From Harriet Tubman to Elizabeth Stanton, Susan B. Anthony and Coretta Scott King, women have been in the forefront of many civil rights battles. Today the cause is global, as social media unites our world in ways never before possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although the women in your life may not be famous yet, they no doubt have impact on many people in your communities. From teachers and mentors to public servants, women continue to influence the world in ways large and small. On March 8<sup>th</sup>, celebrate International Women's Day by thanking them for all they do. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com">French Florist</a>&nbsp;has unique floral designs, bouquets and arrangements for every occasion, but perhaps none more important than honoring the people making a positive impact every day.</p>

<p>We lead such crazy busy lives that it's easy to forget to do little things to take care of ourselves. With family and work in the forefront of everything we do, self-care is never a consideration in anything we do. At <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist,</a> we believe in the importance of self-care, and we encourage our Los Angeles area customers to think about giving themselves the gift of flowers.</p>
<p><span id="more-1160"></span></p>
<p>If manicures and pedicures have always been the treat you give yourself when you're in the mood for pampering; maybe it's time to try something new. Doesn't the novelty of the special feeling you get while enjoying a manicure or pedicure die out when it's something you do out of habit or a sense of ritual? Next time you're thinking about pampering yourself or rewarding yourself for anything or nothing at all, consider giving yourself the gift of flowers.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2591">A Cloud of Pink Blooms</a>&nbsp;is a delightful arrangement that consists of a variety of pink flowers in various shades that range from light to hot pink.<a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2591"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://www.frenchflorist.com/images/item/zoom_FW110808082383259.gif" /></a></p>
<p>We encourage you to think about pampering yourself from time to time. Life's chaos often forces us to consider other people and other things before ourselves. We don't stop to think about the fact that we're not doing our best for the people who rely on us when we're tired and burned out. You can always count on <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a>&nbsp;to help you choose the freshest seasonal flowers and to turn a bunch of single stems into a show-stopping display that will brighten your spirits and warm your heart.</p>

As people begin preparing their yards, choices are made as to which types of plants will be added for interest and color. Many of the <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/potted-plants/">potted plants</a> available at our flower shop can be re-planted in your garden once you have enjoyed them indoors. But even if you do not have a yard ? or have little interest in lawn care ? lawn and garden month can still be celebrated!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether or not you are a weekend gardener, everyone loves the feeling of spring. New life, bright colors and fresh air combine to create an excitement like no other. The beautiful flowering plants and green plants at French Florist will make your patio, back porch or even your living room look like a spring day. Bring the outside in with a blooming <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=1999">kalanchoe</a> or azalea plant; a sophisticated container of <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=180">mums</a> is also reminiscent of an outdoor garden.</p>

These spring collections are smaller versions of their outdoor counterparts, brought inside in a decorative basket. Violets, <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/daisies/">daisies</a>, ivy and <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/plants/orchids/">orchids</a> are just some of the flowers that our designers have combined to make lovely floral arrangements that look right at home on your kitchen table or a foyer entrance way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
