How do you care for tulips?

Answer 1

Tulips are pretty easy. Plant them in the ground or a pot, about 3 times as deep as they bulb is tall. Make sure you plant the blunt end down and the pointy end up. Fill the hole or the top of the pot with a loose mix of potting soil, compost, or good garden loam. Bulbs will need good drainage and plenty of sun. If gophers are a problem planting them in pots may be your best bet. After the flowers fade you can remove them to send more energy to the bulbs. Then keep them moist until the foliage fades. They should return to you next spring with out another thought. If you want to pamper them just a bit, mulch next fall with compost.

Answer 2

Not quite sure what you are asking.But here goes, you must plant them in the ground before the ground is frozen, about 3", then water. this will help their roots to grow. In the spring the rain will pretty much do the rest. You should dig up tulips about every 3 yrs. to separate as they grow new bulbs, and this will give you a new batch of tulips for other parts of your garden. I naturalize my tulips. which means that i plant them right in the grass., around tress. They come up and bloom usually before the grass needs mowing, and by the time it does need mowing the leaves are brown and the flowers long gone, then I just mow them. tulips are a pretty easy thing to grow.

Answer 3

I usually like the Tulip as the best
flowers as they are rarely available
in the country & are very expansive
to buy them for self.

TULIPs are the best gift one can
present to a VVIP- like a girl friend,
her mother, a lady Minister, a lady
Mayor, A heroine, a class teacher,
Sonia gandhi type ladies or the wives
of the Ministers.

Tulips do wonderful jobs for you.
I regularly gift these on occassions
to females, who matter to me.
