Red Tulip Background Information

The tulip was originated in Persia and Turkey centuries ago. Tulip played an important role in Turkish art and culture of that time. The name tulip derived from the Turkish tradition of wearing tulips in one's turban, therefore tulip means turban in Persian word. Tulips are also known as the fame and perfect love. Red tulips mean "believe me" and are a declaration of true love.

Tulips are one of the easiest flower to grow. Tulips are classified as a perennial flower, meaning they grow and bloom over the spring and summer, die back every autumn and winter, and then return in the spring. Tulips will best grow in a way that matches the climate of their native region, which is the cold winters and hot, dry summers.
