Also, moss rose would not require lots of water which would make the tulips unhappy. Each year, allow the tulip leaves to brown and fall off on their own—do not remove them after the blooms are gone while they are still green, as the leaves will make food for the bulb to help it to get through winter and have enough energy for blossoms in spring. Hope this helps!

Husband gave me tulips in a pot. The flowers are done and the bulbs are still in the pot. Will they come back? How do I get them to grow again? Still to cold to put them outside.

One to two inches of mulch will do, but refrain from applying it until after the ground has already frozen. This is done to prevent the soil from retaining warmth, which could inadvertently encourage the tulips to emerge far too early. I noticed tulip bulbs lying on top of the ground when I went out to pick up the dead leaves after blooming this spring. Did the bulbs actually work themselves out of the ground.

Were they originally not planted deep enough. They were in a flower bed on property we bought last year. Please advise. If you are in an area with frost heaves, it is possible that the bulbs may have been pushed up, especially if they were planted at shallower depths.

If the area had any heavy rain, erosion may have taken away some of the soil on top, or the bulbs sitting in muddy water might rise to the surface. Also, were there any signs of digging? Animals such as squirrels may sometimes dig up bulbs. Tulips may form offsets in spring—if these bulbs look tinier than normal, it could be that these detached from the mother bulb due to heavy rain, frost heaving, etc.

It could be that the bulbs are in too shady a spot, or one that is too soggy. A damaged bulb, such as caused by a hungry rodent, may also leaf out a bit but not flower. A diseased or weak bulb may perform the same way. If flowers do eventually show, after the display, allow the leaves to fade and brown naturally; if you cut them off while they are still green, then the bulb can not make food for next year, which weakens the bulb and discourages flowering next season.

I cut all of the greenery down to about 1 inch. Do I have a chance of the tulips and or the daffodils returning? Also would like to know as my amaryllis are beginning to bloom. You are correct; the foliage of tulips and daffs should be left to yellow.

You may see some limp growth next year. If you find the foliage unsightly, fill the space with other same time or later-blooming plants as visual distractions. Bleeding hearts is a good one; they bloom with tulips but last longer. Meantime, day lily foliage starts up with great thickness. I would love to plant this in my new garden but I am afraid of the extreme heat coming in the summer time that it would be best to grow in the house. Can they grow well in Las Vegas?

What grows in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas. Tulips need a natural chill period, so unless you are in the mountains, it is highly unlikely to last. There are people who chill the bulbs in the fridge; note that there are no guarantees.

To try it, let the foliage die back naturally, unearth the bulb, brush off the soil, and put it in the fridge away from food for a few months. Water regularly. Most people would suggest that you enjoy the plant now, appreciate the giver, … and toss the remains into the compost. We've had a lot of rain this spring 3rd yr in a row! Also, some of the basal plates pulled off as well. I am in zone 5, East central Illinois. I have read as much information as I can find in hopes of answering my questions to no avail.

We have preplanted Tulips on the property line between two homes. Unfortunately, these Tulips are usually under rain water for most of the spring and summer months. Each spring, there are fewer flowers blooming. I would Love information on how to care for them before mowing starts here. Because the leaves are always mowed off before dying. Is there any chance of saving the bulbs before they disappear?

Thank you for assistance. Wet soil is a killer for all bulbs. They will get root rot and fail. Cool, soggy conditions and extended periods of wet weather favor infection.

Most bulbs love moisture but hate constantly wet soils. Find the biggest, best-quality bulbs. Ensure a site that is not shady and has 6 to 8 hours of direct sun each day. Plant at the proper depth and encourage good air circulation by spacing correctly.

Bulbs need the leaves after bloom to produce food for the bulb for next year. Once the leaves yellow, they may be removed. It is ok if you want to braid, rubber band or otherwise tie the leaves. If you want to move some spring-blooming bulbs to another spot, wait until the foliage has turned yellow, then carefully dig them up and let them dry in a shady spot for a few days.

Best advice: start over, as per above. Blubs are fine with the cold, but they do not transplant well. Best bet is to plant in early fall for blooms in spring —unless something on the packaging indicates somethign else. Should I plant them now or wait for the autumn, please? I've a sunny corner of my English garden earmarked for them and going by previous comments would be wise to add sand round them as the soil is rather heavy. I have tulip bulbs that a friend sent me last November, but I never got around to planting them.
