What Kind of Tulips Grow in Canada? Tulips, like many other spring bulbs, appreciate cold weather and a long winter–which makes them perfect for Canadian gardening. While some hot-weather tulips don't prefer the cold that comes with Zones 2 and 3, many others thrive here. Here are some of our favorite tulips that grow well in Canada: Fosteriana tulips bloom at the very beginning of spring, and feature unique, pointed petals. These are truly picture-perfect tulips, with tall stems and thinner, colorful petals. Lots of color, lots of form! Classic early tulips bloom, that's right, early in spring. Available in a wide variety of single and double forms, these are your truly classic, cup-shaped tulips. Beautiful planted en masse. Emperor tulips are large, tall, and have a slender cup. Some Emperors feature edges that frill outwards. Jumbo perennial tulips come back year after year. True to their name, these are big, bold tulips growing in singular or multiple colors. Darwin hybrid tulips have big, nearly bowl-shaped blooms that grow in bright colors. These are favorites of landscapers looking to make a large-scale impact. Triumph tulips bloom from spring into summer, and have gorgeous, thick, shiny petals and sturdy stems. They are among the tallest variety. Species tulips are shorter and more diminutive than other varieties. These may look a bit like crocus, but have a later bloom time. Excellent for carpeting a large area.
