How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Tulips
ADVERTISEMENT
I rec'd tulips from my daughter. My question is. Am I ble to transplant them into the ground? The leaves are starting to fall & stems are getting yellow.
Transplanting bulbs outdoors after blooming can be hit or miss, but it’s worth trying! Get them in the ground as soon as possible and feed them with a bit of fertilizer to encourage growth. The foliage will die back on its own, but if the bulb is able to establish itself, it will come back next spring.
Either deer or rabbits have attacked my tulips as the sprouted from the ground. Will they still bloom or are they lost for this season?
Hi, Lillie, So sorry to hear this; we have had this same experience and in our cases, it has been bunnies. It’s not possible to know now if your tulips will bloom; it depends somewhat on how much of the foliage was consumed and maybe on the size and health of the bulb. You’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, you may find solace–and a few solutions–here https://www.almanac.com/pest/rabbits
When you put cut tulips in a vase of water, and they start to âwiltâ, put a penny or two in the bottom. The tulips will stand up straight again.
