May 1, 2017A.You can store the bulbs and plant out in a zone 7 garden in October to early November.
It can be difficult to get a rebloom on forced tulip bulbs.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/bgen/how-to-plant-a-flower-bulb-in-your-garden-after-winter-forcing.htm

June 23, 2017Q.Tulips
I started to grow tulips in a glass vase with glass marbles. they have been doing really well. they have grown leaves, and are fairly tall, maybe two weeks from flowering, but the 2nd and third leaves that are trying to grow died, like they may have rotted. the bulbs look fine and water is where it should be. Will they ever recover and flower? what HAS grown still looks healthy.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, spring flowering bulbs, such as Tulips, will want to be planted in Autumn! If any of these are later flowering, then you may want to hold off until spring to plant.
As long as the bulbs that you intend to plant are hardy in your zone, then you will want to plant these in mid to late Fall.

Highland Park, ILQ.Will Potted Tulip Bulbs Regrow In Same Pot
The tulip plant I bought has flowers that are going. In the past, I saved the bulbs, gave them to my daughter who planted them in her yard, and they grew. If I were to keep the bulbs and leave them in the flowerpot after cutting away the leaves and dead flowers, would they grow again if I watered them and kept them on my balcony?

39574Q.Growing Tulips In Water All Year
I have seen tulips growing in water. Can they be started now? If so which type should I buy and how many for two 4 inch containers? How do I know if they have been chilled since they will not go through winter in the ground? Thanks for your reply. Linda Brice Barnowlpath@gmail.com

Certified ExpertA.This is called "forcing" and then they are placed in water as a novelty. This is not a way to keep it growing, as they will not fare very well once they are forced. This is purely ornamental and temporary.

Certified ExpertA.The foliage will survive freezes but if the flowers are budding and blooming during a freeze, you will lose those.
Watch the weather and if a freeze is anticipated, cover any budding or blooming plants. If they are blooming before a freeze, just cut them and bring them in to enjoy.
