Tulips should be planted in the fall, a few weeks before the first frost.
This usually occurs between mid-September and early November.
You can plant them a little earlier to give the plants more time to develop roots.
Is it possible not to dig up tulips every year
So, why do tulips need to have their bulbs dug up every year? First, this is done to create the best conditions for the formation of flower buds in young bulbs.
The bulb, if left in the ground, is susceptible to infections and the negative effects of cold and humidity.
How to properly store tulip bulbs until autumn
Place the onions in them in one layer. If you have several varieties of tulips, put each in a separate container and remember to label it to avoid confusion.
Place the boxes in a dry, warm and well-ventilated area.
The air temperature in the room should not be lower than +15C so that tulip bulbs, sensitive to cold, do not freeze. As autumn approaches, it is worth gradually lowering the temperature in the room where the planting material is stored, to approximately +12 - +13C.
What happens if you don't replant tulips
In contrast, varietal Dutch varieties, especially very valuable ones, quickly become smaller without replanting, lose the characteristics of the variety and may stop blooming altogether.
Nevertheless, it’s precisely these bulbs that fill all the shelves in large garden stores in the spring.
