  • In this video I explain how to make your tulips come back in flower for many years by choosing perennial tulips, how to plant them and how to ensure longevity if you have already bought non-perennial tulips.
    The video uses mostly my own garden photos, some taken in Keukenhof some 10 years ago where the quality is not the best, and a few from CC sources as follows...

    So happy I stumbled across this video!! It's the most informative information I've found about perennializing tulips since taking the plunge and buying 250 bulbs last fall, including two Fosterianas (Exotic Emperor & Purissima) and Negrita, which (I think) is one of those that doesn't fit into a perennializing category but does it anyway. Much of the information I was reading was incomplete or confusing; now I feel like the fog has lifted. And hopefully our dry, hot summers in Toronto will work to my advantage!

    Very helpful, thank you! I made some bulb lasagna planters this year as holiday gifts and made sure the tulip varieties were planted deeply and were of the types that might come back again the next year.
    And for my own garden, I’m planning to try to augment a wildflower meadow with assorted tulips and keep replenishing it with bulbs from each year’s old container displays. Gardener’s World hooked me on the idea of a meadow with long grass and a sea of tulips in spring. I’m thinking if I plant them deeply enough with a little compost and bulb booster they’ll have a happy “retirement” for years to come. Your video is going to be a big help there!

    I just found your gardening channel. I grew up in the US with Irish immigrant grandparents. My Grandfather was a wonderful gardener. I met him every day in the garden after school . I picked up my love of gardening from him. I have had trouble with my tulips returning each year and just accepted that I would replant them each fall. Then you talked about digging them up and drying the foliage . And I had an instant flashback to seeing our basement floor covered in tulips, lying on newspaper. Now I understand. God Bless and Thank you.

    So this ought to be a lesson to everyone, sometimes hybridization doesn't necessarily make things better. In this case all the breeding and messing about with Tulips has made many of them less of a performer in the garden.

    Wow, I felt like I was back in school taking notes. I am literally typing this comment then going straight to check what type of tulips I bought the other day. Hopefully they are Division 4, 13, 12, 14, 15 or 6. Thank you for the great video. Liked and subscribed👍
