These Perennial Tulips are good for coming back year after year. They are tulip bulbs that you can plant in the ground and leave in the same place for years. Perennial Tulips like a little fertilizer after flowering, then you are sure that the bulb will grow bigger and give flowers the following year. When tulips have finished flowering, you can remove the seed pods, but the leaves and stem should be left until they wither naturally.
Large, healthy tulip bulbs are a prerequisite for a good result. Most tulip bulbs are 12+, meaning they are 12 cm in circumference. Some varieties are available in 14+, meaning they are over 14 cm in circumference and develop even more powerful tulips. Botanical tulips are smaller, typically 6+.
When planting your tulip bulbs in the fall, remember to plant tulips at the correct depth in the soil. If a bulb is 6 cm high, the hole should be 3 x 6 cm, i.e. 18 cm deep. If the bulb is 4 cm high, the hole should be 3 x 4 cm, i.e. 12 cm deep. If you don't plant your bulbs deep enough, they won't grow very well the following year.
