Can you dig up tulips and replant them?Updated 21 days ago

After flowering, you can deadhead your tulips and allow the length of the stem and the leaves to turn yellow or die back. Whilst they are not reliably perennial and may not grow back for a second year, allowing them to die back gives them the best chance of doing so. Once your tulips have died back, you can either relocate them to another part of the garden which is less significant (in case they don’t all return) or you can dig them up, store them over summer and replant them in autumn. Both methods tend to yield similar results.
