March 29, 2014Q.Tulip Bulbs
I bought a beautiful group of tulips in a glass-growing container, grown in water. They did fantastic and now the leaves have yellowed and they have died back. How do I store them through the summer with the goal of putting them back in to this glass grow container to bloom again next spring? I have been searching, without any success, for advice on how to do this. Thanks.

Certified ExpertA.You can store them, though I would store them in the garage so that they get heat, or you can just go ahead and plant them outdoors, though forced tulips are sometimes difficult to grow in the garden.

April 5, 2014Q.Tulip
I have one water growing tulip and one in a pot. How do I keep them going? The one in the pot is just about gone. The one in water has new shoots growing in the water. They were both gifts and I don't want to just throw them away.

May 18, 2014Q.Dried Tulip Bulbs
I received a tulip plant that had dried out in the pot. The pot has been sitting outside under the eaves in MN spring and has received only traces of rain. The bulbs are dry, but appear to have multiplied. How do I store them, or can I plant them now, for blooming next year in a bed...either across the yard, or adjacent to the house?

Certified ExpertA.Basically it hinges on a few factors, such as what plant hardiness zone you are in, the drainage of your container, and the care (fertilizing) of your plant leading up to the winter months. You can read more about the winter care of tulip bulbs in containers at the following link:
