Tulip fields in Holland

The famous tulip fields in Holland are blooming in spring but when you want to see the bright colors of the tulip fields you will have to plan your trip. Difficulty here is that the weather is an important factor in determining when the tulip fields bloom. Every year we publish our free Flower Forecasts. With our forecasts we keep you updated about the weather and growing of the tulips in Holland.

How long will a tulip field bloom?

Tulips growing on the tulip fields are mostly grown for the flower bulb and not for the flower itself. Most tulip fields are therefore headed after 2 or 3 weeks of flowering so that more energy can go to the flower bulb instead of the flower. In Keukenhof Gardens the tulips will not be headed and because of that the tulips will bloom even longer.
