Tulip flowers are a hardy species but there are still some care that needs to be taken to ensure that you see those colorful tulip flowers in spring. Tulip plants should be fertilized twice a year and the best time to feed them is in early spring. Best way to do this is to add a tablespoon of granular fertilizer on the soil around each bulb. This must be done BEFORE flowering or otherwise feeding them after flowering could cause disease to set in.
Tulips need lots of water and if you live in a wet climate then you don’t need to water them that frequently. If you live in a warm area you have to make sure you water your tulip garden at least once week.
