Warm colors, such as the reds and yellows of tulips and narcissus, seem to pop toward the front of a landscape, while cool colors, like the hues of purple violets or blue iris, recede into the background. When growing your tulips in containers, avoid placing the container in direct sunshine. If the sun warms the soil in the container too early, the bulb will send up shoot and flower before an adequate root system has developed. Breck's full time staff of bulb experts spends the entire year in Holland devoting themselves to obtaining cream of the crop bulbs for shipment to customers in America. Try cool colors with a few sparks of warm colors, or warm colours with a few cool colors.
