Texas is home to several tulip gardens, farms and festivals. Each bulb requires cold weather to bloom in the early Spring; therefore, they are planted by the thousands in December. In Texas, find gardens that are pick-your-own. Others offer display gardens to admire tulips in every shade. Here are the top places to find tulips in Texas.

Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden

Along the shores of White Rock Lake, the 66-acre Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden glows with rainbow-colored blooms throughout the seasons. It opened to the public in 1984 and was created from the DeGolyer Estate and the Alex Camp House, both overlooking White Rock Lake. 

Comprised of a series of gardens, each feels like a unique room that flows into another. The Sunken Garden is a favorite. The Crape Myrtle Allée is a sight in full summertime bloom. The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden offers a Children’s Adventure Garden, too.

The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden hosts seasonal events throughout the year. The first event of the year is Dallas Blooms.
