I'm a new gardener who is also getting married July 12.
My dream is to carry a huge bouquet of tulips -- every shade of pink,
plus some ivory mixed in -- down the aisle. BUT I can't afford to pay
hothouse prices (if I can even get them!).
So I was wondering if it's feasible to force tulips indoors in the
summer. If you think it is, could you tell me:
1) Where can I buy tulip bulbs this time of year?
2) How do I do this? Amount of light, fertilizer, length of time it
takes, etc.
3) How many should I plant to get 5-6 dozen? (Want extra for
centerpiece)
I am grateful for any help you can give! I have posted to rec.gardens
twice, but no one has responded.
TIA!
Michele
