How to grow and care for coloful tulips

After tulips have finished blooming, don’t cut the foliage straight away: through photosynthesis the leaves will create nutrients that the bulb will be needing for its next growing season. After a few weeks the foliage will automatically yellow and die back, and then you can remove it. Now the bulb will be going dormant, and won’t need any watering until next spring.

How to plant tulips in your garden:
Wait until the soil is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. In the North this will be in September or October, in the South in October or November.

Pick a spot in your garden that has well-draining soil and gets full sun or partial shade.
Plant the tulip bulbs about 5-7” deep and 4-5” apart, placing them in the ground with their pointy ends up.
Water well once and wait for spring
After the tulips have bloomed don’t cut off the foliage. Leave it until it’s completely withered and yellow, then remove.
