Flower Forecast - 10 May 2022 - The final days

The 2022 tulip season represents a new beginning more than ever. After more than 2 years with strange COVID19 measures, we are going to make it a great edition in 2022. Fortunately, more and more (international) travel restrictions are being lifted and the Dutch tulips can again be admired by people from all over the world. Below are the Flower Forecasts for the 2022 tulip season.

10 May 2022 – State of the tulip fields in Holland

Most of the tulip fields intended for growing the best quality tulip bulbs have now been headed. In this process, the farmer removes the flower from the stem so that the energy can go back into the tulip bulb. There are still some tulip fields blooming in some places but they can be cut down at any moment.

The tulips at the tulip attractions are not cut, so they are still in bloom. So would you like to enjoy the tulips in bloom in Holland in 2022? Then plan your visit soon: Keukenhof Gardens, Tulip Experience Amsterdam or Tulipfarm De Tulperij.

You can already order the fresh 2022 tulip bulbs. Now that the tulip flower has been cut, the tulip bulb will continue to grow. The first tulip bulbs will be harvested in June. From September, the bulbs are packed and shipped all over the world in October. Just in time for planting in October to December. Order the best quality Dutch tulip bulbs here.

Current blooming at Keukenhof Gardens

In the last days of the tulip season, the tulips in Keukenhof are still in bloom. These are the last days it is still possible to enjoy the Dutch tulips. Sunday 15 May is the last day and then the flower park will close its doors again until the end of March 2023.

Hyacints – Most hyacint flower fields have finished flowering.
Tulips – Tulips at the tulip attractions are still in bloom. The cutting of the flowers on the tulip fields is almost done. **
