Can I save tulip bulbs for next year?Updated 21 days ago
Most tulips are not reliably perennial and won’t produce such a good display in subsequent years. Darwin hybrid varieties and botanical tulips are the exception—allow them to die back naturally and leave them in the soil where they are planted. Other varieties can be lifted and stored but they may not grow back and flower reliably. If you decide to lift them, iot should be done once the foliage and stem has fully died back, then stored during summer and planted again in autumn. Over summer, they should be stored in paper bags in a dry, airy location such as a shed.
