Frequently Asked Questions About Tulips
Do Tulips Come Back Every Year?
Tulips are technically perennial plants, but many gardeners treat them as annuals because our gardens rarely provide the harsh and often dry conditions they prefer. They thrive in cold climates with minimal rainfall. However, if you want to be sure that you can enjoy Tulips year after year, consider planting Darwin Hybrid Tulips, which are known for their incredibly strong stems and large flowers.
Can You Leave Tulip Bulbs In The Ground All Year?
After your Tulips have bloomed, you have a few options. If left in the ground, they may return the following year, but expect smaller, less vibrant flowers over time. You can also consider digging them up and storing the bulbs in a net or bag in a cool, dark place. If you want to be sure of a good display next season, it’s best to plant fresh Tulips bulbs in the fall. Read more in our blog ‘How To Save Tulip Bulbs For Next Season?’.
