And even a uniform bed of simple red flowers is a stunning sight, ardently and proudly marking the arrival of spring.

The breeders who made efforts to create varieties from which the eighth class of tulips was formed, initially did not even suspect about the results that they would receive in the process of work. And today, representatives of the class of green-colored tulips cause surprise and admiration. These are unusual flowers with an exotic color, which makes them especially decorative.

A bit of history

The class of green-colored ones was created relatively recently, and has not yet managed to grow quantitatively in a short period of time. At the time when it was created, scientists managed to find and combine only 32 varieties into it. All this happened in 1981, but after a few years, interest in such varieties increased, and breeders began to consider the possibility of developing a class. However, there is evidence that the very first tulips, reminiscent of representatives of this class in external characteristics, existed at the very beginning of the 20th century.

However, the idea of ​​​​development of the class was not crowned with success - the problems with the creation of green-flowered varieties were that they were all the result of an impact on already existing varieties the strongest mutagenic factors. The result is an exotic color, but the modified tulips, acquiring increased decorativeness, received along with it a number of disadvantages.

To date, green-colored tulips are not the most popular, they are practically not grown for commercial purposes, but they can be found in botanical gardens, in landscape design in combination with other varieties. Representatives of this class are very popular in landscaping small flower beds, decorating alpine slides and curbs.


Green-colored tulips general description.

The class of green-colored tulips combines varieties that are distinguished by the presence of one characteristic feature only for them - green shading on the outside of the petals. To date, there are a lot of different colors, but all have a wide green stripe that contrasts with the main shade.

Representatives of the class grow up to a maximum of 80 cm - there are taller varieties, and there are low ones. The stems are standard - upright, not branched and rarely leafy. Flowering, in almost all varieties, is single. The shape of the flowers, depending on the variety, may differ - they are lily-colored or goblet-shaped. The basal rosette is formed from narrow and long leaves, entire, light green in color.

It is impossible not to mention the shortcomings of the class, because of which it never became too popular - green varieties are rarely grown commercially, although they are very decorative and suitable for cutting. The problem with these varieties is that their resistance to variegation virus has been weakened by the mutagenic factors that led to the creation of this class. In addition, flowers are more demanding and need special care.

Flowering time

The eighth class of tulips is included in the group, which is characterized by late deadline flowering. Therefore, in order to observe the opening of buds, you need to wait until the second half of May, when the soil and air will already be well warmed up by the sun. The duration of flowering is not the same for all varieties, but on average, open flowers can be observed within 2-2.5 weeks.
