Canada will plant 200,000 red-and-white Maple Leaf tulips to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017. The bloom is making an early appearance in the official gardens in Ottawa this fall. Next year, an additional 100,000 will be added for the 2017 celebrations. People across the country are encouraged to plant the tulip in their own gardens this year. The bulbs can be purchased at Home Hardware starting in September.
