tulip field

Rows of blooms

A tulip field is a large area cultivated with tulips, typically grown commercially for bulbs or cut flowers.

The term evokes the iconic Dutch landscape, where vast stretches of tulips in uniform rows create striking bands of color each spring: We drove past tulip fields ablaze with red and yellow.

Tulip fields have become tourist destinations in the Netherlands and elsewhere.
