tulip fields

Dutch flower meadows

Tulip fields are large agricultural areas planted with tulips, cultivated commercially for bulbs and cut flowers.

The term evokes the iconic Dutch landscape where rows of tulips in vivid colors stretch to the horizon: We visited the tulip fields in April when they were in full bloom.

The Netherlands dominates global tulip production, making tulip fields synonymous with Dutch scenery and spring tourism.
