The Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden was thrown open to the public by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
Formerly known as Siraj Bagh, the garden was opened to the public as tulips of different colours have started to bloom, Floriculture Department officials said.
The department plants tulip bulbs in a phased manner so that the flowers remain in bloom for a month or more.
This year, the department has added two new varieties of tulips to the garden.
A new colour scheme has been introduced this year, and the total number of varieties of tulips and other flowers has risen to 74.
Other spring flowers including hyacinths, daffodils, muscari and cyclamens are also on display.
The extension of the garden has reached almost its full capacity, they said.
More than 4.65 lakh visitors, both domestic and foreign, visited the garden last year while the footfall in 2023 was 3.65 lakh.
