The tulip garden is cultivated over months by more than 50 gardeners for the Tulip Festival, organised annually at the onset of spring in Srinagar. The garden first opened in 2007 by former Jammu-Kashmir chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad. PTI

The average life-span of a tulip flower is three to four weeks; but since the tulip bulbs in the garden are planted in a phased manner, they tend to stay for at least a month or more. PTI
