The tulip is, without a doubt, an icon of Dutch heritage. This beautiful flower is part of the DNA. When you think of the Netherlands, you think of tulips along with windmills and canals.

The tulip came to the Netherlands in the 16th century. The Flemish botanist Carolus Clusius played an important role in this. At the time, Clusius was head of the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, now the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands and where the first tulips in the Netherlands were planted in 1593.

Over the centuries, they have become synonymous with the Netherlands and loved and admired around the world. Tulips need cold nights and a cold winter which is why they thrive in the country of Netherlands.
In the 17th century, the Netherlands was gripped by tulip mania. Bulbs became extremely popular and increasingly expensive. The tulip became the object of speculative frenzy at one point, a single tulip bulb was worth as much as an Amsterdam canal house.

The best time to see the tulips and other flowers mainly bloom during spring season from March through May. Tulip fields are at their most strikingly beautiful from approximately mid-March to mid-May. Most crop farms where tulips are grown in the Netherlands are located in the Noordoostpolder in the province of Flevoland.

This becomes gloriously apparent when the flowers are in bloom. You can best describe the bulb region as a beautiful, colourful sea of flowers, row upon row of blooms as far as the eye can see. It is with good reason that the bulb region has become the centre of the worldwide flower bulb trade.
