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.
