How to Choose Tulips for Pink Tulip Flower Gardens

If you are a person who loves pink you can purchase a variety of tulips to make a pink tulip flower garden. Some varieties of pink tulips are fringed tulips, parrot tulips, single tulips, and double tulips. You can also find a variety of specialty pink tulips as well, which are much fairer than the legendary black tulip.

One of the lightest shades of pink tulips is the Candy Prince tulip, a mid to late spring flower bloomer, which is the color of light pink cotton candy.  A specialty tulip similar in color on the base is the Ice Cream tulip, which is an early to mid spring bloomer.  

Other types of pink tulips are called the Key Largo tulip, which blooms in the early spring and stands 16 to 18 inches tall when full grown. This pink tulip has medium pink flared petals. It is a little bit darker shade than the Cool Crystal pink tulip and a little lighter shade than the Abigail tulip.

The Ice Cream tulip contains a faint pink flower blossom which sites in the base of the flower which is colored a darker shade of pink. It appears as if it is a scoop of bubble gum flavored ice cream ice cream in a serving cup.

One Pink tulip is named the Angelique tulip. This one is a mid to late spring bloomer and it grows up to 18 inches tall. If you want a variety of colors other than pink in your flower garden it is recommended to mix this tulip with the Blue Hyacinths, a flower that is similar in type to the light purple Lilac. You could also plant this with a white tulip such as the Ivory Floradale Tulip, which is a jumbo sized single blossom tulip.

All of the above are examples of tulips that you can plant in a flower garden. This of course can be mixed with any color combinations of tulips that you want in your flower garden. Most of the time these are planted a few inches apart either in clusters of varied types of tulips or in one-color tulip garden patches.

Depending upon what kind of result you expect when planting, you may want to make sure that all the tulips that you plant together bloom at the same time. It is also recommended that you pick tulips to plant together of the same height.

It is not recommended that you try to just plant any two tulips together. For example, you would not want to plant a bright orange tulip with a light pink tulip. These colors have a tendency to clash and you would not want a pink tulip garden that clashes.

Usually pink tulips look best with various shades of white, light blue (usually a different type of flower rather than a tulip), magenta, or a variety of bright-colored tulips. Pink tulips look good in one and two colored tulip beds as well as in multi-colored tulip beds.

Another tulip planting idea for a pink tulip flower garden is to plant some super parrot tulips, which are tall flowers with beautiful curly, fluttery-type leaves along with some Green Wave and Greenland tulips. The last two types of tulips would look good with the super parrot because the super parrot is an elegant looking white tulip and the Greenland types of tulips are shades of a medium-bright pink with green veins in the flower blossom. This combination would work well together.
