Aftercare
Remove faded flowers once they have finished blooming to prevent seed production, but leave the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following year. Tulips perform best in well-drained soil and benefit from avoiding waterlogged conditions during winter. Lift and store bulbs after the foliage has died back if growing in heavy or poorly drained soils.
