How and when can we replant tulip bulbs for next year?

Reply:You do want to wait until late fall to plant them. Leave the greenery until it turns brown, you want it to soak up lots of sun. Once it turns brown cut it back and lift the bulbs from the pot. Put them in a brown paper sack, in a cool, dry place until fall. I usually just put mine labeled on a shelf in the basement, just be careful not to forget about them (I've done that). You may want to check on gardenweb's site (gardenweb.com) I think you can freeze them too if you'd like, but I've never tried that.
Reply:Different areas of the country may have different recommendations. Where I live, in southern Michigan, we plant our tulip bulbs in the fall and they will bloom in the spring. After the bloom has died, cut back the dead stems and you can keep the bulbs in a paper bag or bucket in a dark, dry place. In the fall, plant them and forget them. They'll come up in the spring.
Reply:The tulip bulbs can be planted outside as soon as the soil can be worked. They won't bloom again until next spring, as they need to go through a dormant period and the cold of winter before they will bloom again. Let the foliage die back naturally. Don't trim it off until it's completely dried and brown, as the plant needs the foliage for photosynthesis.


Plant bulbs to a depth 3 times the height of the bulb.
