Certified ExpertA.Tulips only have one show when grown in the south. Plus, if yours grew in water, it was probably forced, and forced tulips don't regrow either.

March 28, 2020Q.Question about forcing spring bulbs?
I purchased tulips & daffodils in late fall thinking I would force them in the spring. I knew the tulips needed chilling. So I put the tulips in the fridge and the daffodils in my cool basement (just in their bags). Now, I want to plant them in pots to bloom for Easter. However, I have read now that I should have put them in pots back in the fall and stored in fridge and basement, respectively. Will they grow and bloom if I just plant them up in pots now and put in the sun? I'm actually thinking about forcing the tulips in water and putting the daffodils in a couple of pots.

Certified ExpertA.It may be too late to force the tulips for Easter but give it a try:

You can plant the daffodils now; they may still grow and bloom in time for Easter.

Certified ExpertA.No, they are likely in the process of forming roots. Moving them now will likely prevent them from coming out this year, resulting in their death.
You will want to transplant these in late summer or Autumn.

80537Q.Tulips
I live in Colorado, and it had snowed last night. It possibly will freeze; my tulips are just now coming up-- should I cover them, and also my lilies have come up and they are starting to get the bulbs to bloom-- should I cover them also? Thank you so much

Certified ExpertA.Nope! They are well adapted to the cold, and are right on schedule, given that your lilies are a native cultivar. If you purchased them locally, chances are they are adapted for your area.

April 18, 2020Q.Can tulips recover?
About five years ago I planted over 900 bulbs that were in good condition. In the spring before my return from Florida to PA the rabbits had eaten them all to a stub. This happened again and again for three years. I left the bulbs in the ground. After the third year I pulled what bulbs I could find. Most were the size a quarter. Years earlier they were like golf balls. I planted what I had in the fall and placed chicken wire fencing around my beds. For two years now all of the bulbs have grown leaves. I have full beds of tulip leaves but only about two dozen flowering tulips. Will they ever recover? Is there anything I can do?

April 22, 2020Q.What do I do with tulips I received as a gift for Easter in a small temporary pot?
I received tulips for Easter in a temporary pot. Should I plant them outdoors now or move them to a bigger pot and keep them in the house? Do I water them until ready to plant in August or September? I live in West Texas.

Certified ExpertA.Tulips need to go into dormancy. After you cut the flower stems off, leave the foliage until it dries up naturally. Decrease watering slowly until it is almost completely dead looking. You can pull that bulb out after this and put it into storage in a bag of vermiculite until fall.
Tulips aren't fond of warm weather so you need to take some extra care. These articles should help:https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/tulips/tulips-care-and-tulip-planting-tips.htm
