Commonly Asked Questions

What is the best month to plant tulip bulbs?

For the best results, plant your tulip bulbs in autumn. Wait until the soil has cooled off from the summer, ideally in October or November. If you're in a warmer climate, December is preferable.

Do tulip bulbs come back year after year?

Tulips are technically perennials, meaning they should bloom every year. However, many gardeners treat them as annuals and replant each autumn due to inconsistent year-after-year blooming.

Can you leave tulip bulbs in the ground all year in the UK?

Yes, tulip bulbs can remain in the ground year-round. However, they may not bloom as vigorously. Ensuring adequate energy from leaves is absorbed back into the bulbs can improve next year's display.

When should I plant tulip bulbs UK?

In the UK, plant tulip bulbs in autumn from September to November. Planting in this period allows the bulbs to establish in cool soil, which is essential for spring blooming.

What do you do when tulips have finished flowering?

After tulips finish flowering, remove the old skin and separate the large and small bulbs. Store them in a dry place over summer, and replant in the autumn to enjoy another spectacular spring display.
