Help wtih tulips

Question

I live in zone 7, heat zone 8. I would like to see if I could get my tulips to bloom again next year. I have heard that it is possible and that I should dig up the bulbs after the foliage dies down in late spring. Can you give me any suggestions or help? Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, once the leaves go yellow on their own, you will need to dig them up and pre-chill them to get them to bloom for next year. These articles have additional information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/bgen/how-to-plant-bulbs-in-the-south.htm
