For the past 25 years, operating out of its USA warehouse located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Colorblends has sought to change the norm of planting tulips in blocks of single colors. By blending two or more varieties of tulips, Colorblends creates spring flower displays that are so eye catching they literally stop traffic.

Colorblends' approach has gained widespread acceptance from the bulb buying community—so much so that imitators have begun to spring up and copy Colorblends selections. But bulb blending is not as easy as it appears.

Every year, Colorblends tests dozens of blend ideas and carefully evaluates them for simultaneous bloom and color harmony. Only a handful of blends are deemed attractive and dependable enough for Colorblends' demanding customers: landscape contractors, state and municipal government grounds managers, and golf course superintendents. This painstaking due diligence allows Colorblends to guarantee that the selection planted in the fall will be a car-stopping display in the spring.

"We go to a lot of effort to make our customers' lives a little easier," said Tim Schipper, owner of Colorblends. "You can burn a huge amount of time and money planning and planting a display that looks boring, or worse. When you plant a Colorblend, you know you're going to get great results the first time out."

Visitors to the Netherlands are encouraged to stop by Colorblends' Amsterdam Tulip Museum to learn more about the history and cultivation of the tulip. The museum is located in the Jordaan district of Amsterdam, just a 2-minute walk from the Anne Frank house. Additional information about the museum may be found at Amsterdamtulipmuseum.com.
