Zone Zone 4 | Anonymous added on February 28, 2023 | Answered

I received potted tulips in mid-Feb and now at the end of Feb they are done blooming. How should I care for them until I can plant them in the spring outside? I live in Zone 4.

Generally, forced tulips are a one-shot bloomer, but if you want to try, here is an article that tells how. Continue to water it and let the leaves die back naturally near a sunny window. You can cut off any spent flower stems.
