How can I get tulips that will come back year after year, instead of getting just one year of good flowering from them?
A– Variety selection and soil quality are most important. For the best bet, choose Darwin Hybrids or Fosteriana or species (wild) tulips; most of these act as perennials. Experiment with other varieties, as some others may perform for you. Fertilize with Bulb Booster, and especially fertilize again during their active growth period in spring every year. Site them in a well-drained location in good soil in full or part sun. Plant larger varieties 8-10″ deep, which is deeper than most written instructions usually indicate.
