Aftercare
Remove faded flowers after blooming to prevent seed production, but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following season. Tulips thrive in fertile, free-draining soil and should not be left sitting in wet ground over winter. In heavier soils, bulbs can be lifted once the foliage has died back, stored in a cool, dry place and replanted in autumn.
