Why do my tulips not bloom- only 2-3 blooms each year and I have 50+ tulip greens.?

I live in Michigan, Maybe too cold in the spring? Neighbors do have flowers though.

They may need to be thinned out.If too many plants grow close together they do not get enough nutrients to bloom.I would suggest that you thin them out this fall and next spring you should see more blooms.
Reply:They may need more sun...they do love to feel the sun!
Reply:Hi i lived in western N.Y. and had tulips. The first year they don't get alot of blooms, because they're in "shock" but with Water, Moderate sun, and some kind of flower food (I use Osmocote) the second year they are gorgous. You can take a sample of your soil to Lowes or a similar chain to find out what your soil lacks for nutrients.
