How to grow tulips indoors: a step-by-step guide |

The sight of spring bulbs – their glowing colors and satin-like petals – fills me with joy every year. Whether scattered in borders or bursting from pots, they herald the near end of winter. And, after months of cold and gray, this can feel quite a relief. 

Although I do love a daffodil (especially if it’s highly fragranced, such as Narcissus ‘Bridal Crown’), tulips are my favorite type of spring bulb. And recently, I discovered that they can be grown indoors, similar to forcing hyacinths or paperwhites in a jar. 

What better way to celebrate the shifting of seasons in your home?
