Bloom Status: small touch of green
Our tulips are quietly at work beneath the soil, building roots and getting ready for their spring debut.

Last chance for tulip color — the late-flowering tulip varieties remain in bloom.
Bloom Information
The tulip gardens plant early, mid- and late-flowering tulips to help ensure you have plenty of color to enjoy throughout the festival. Still, Mother Nature determines exactly when a tulip blooms! Hot and cold weather, heavy rains, and high winds can affect the best-laid plans.
In some years, color first appears in March, while it can last into May in others. We can’t predict the exact moment each tulip will bloom, but we’ll certainly keep you up to date along the way. See their status above.
If you’re traveling from a long distance and must make plans now, mid-April tends to be the safest bet to experience vibrant blooms.
TULIP FIELDS
In addition to the main tulip gardens, you can view several tulip fields throughout Skagit Valley. These are RoozenGaarde’s crops, which the garden plants to yield both tulip bulbs and fresh-cut flowers. You get the added benefit of viewing these gorgeous fields!
However, please keep in mind that they’re a crop, so no one should damage them. Check out our interactive map for field locations (see the “Tulip Field” icons).
DAFFODIL FIELDS
Although the stars of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival show are the tulips, the region is also known for daffodils. These beauties bloom before the tulips, typically in March! Bring your camera to capture the seas of swaying gold.
