After the tulips discontinue blossoming in the garden, taking care of tulips once they bloom is quite simple. Other than adequately discarding any tulips which may have diseases there's is just not much for you to do besides cleaning the leaves and preparing what you should plant in their place during the summer season.
Once the tulips are completed blossoming you need to make sure to maintain the leaves green for as long as possible. Continue to keep tulips watered for the period of dry spells within the fall season. Water the tulip flower two times a week if the climate is higher than 75°. During the summer season, you can dig the bulbs up and separate them right after tulip foliage withers. So my tips, I suggest to dig them up at least one time within the 3 years. To ensure the best quality of tulip flowers you need to buy fresh tulip bulbs annually.
Once the tulip flower in your garden have completely finished blossoming the flower petals start to die and slowly begin to fall off. At this stage the flower stalks start to look just a little untidy so you can cut down your entire tulips to get the garden a nice looking visual appearance.
You need to avoid to cut back the entire plant growing above ground. Although it might not exactly look so interesting, the green stalk and leaves is a something very useful for the tulip bulb underneath soil. Photosynthesis occur in the plant leaves and in the case of bulbs, such as tulip flower, the energy produced is saved in the tulip bulb. The bulb makes use of this energy to breed and also to get ready to bloom for a second time.
