Tulip flowering time
Tulips are native to the mountainous regions of Iran and Turkey, and due to the Mediterranean climate, they have adapted to wet and cold winters and dry and hot summers. Their characteristics are summer dormancy, rooting and sprouting new buds in autumn and winter but not emerging from the soil, and after experiencing low winter temperatures, they start to grow and form stems and leaves in early February of the following year (temperatures above 5℃), and bloom in March to April.
The flowering time of tulips is uneven, with some blooming as early as the beginning of March and others not until the end of April. The blooming period is short, usually lasting only about ten days.

How to deal with tulips after flowering?
Method 1: For home gardening, after the flowers fade, take out the bulbous roots and place them in the sun to dry, then store them in a cool place; when autumn comes, put them in a pot, water them, and store them outdoors like wheat, which will bloom naturally the next year.
Method 2: After the flowers fade, except for the mother plants reserved for seedlings, the flower stems of the others should be cut off in a timely manner to allow the nutrients to concentrate on the development of the new bulbs. Do not store them in the freezer; they should be kept in a thawing state, or they will freeze to death.
