    Tulips like to go through a cold winter to produce good blooms. Where I live the winters are relatively mild, so tulips don't re-bloom that well the next year, unless you store the bulbs a while in the refrigerator during the winter. If you live where it gets cold, just leave them outside for the same effect.

    Tulips bloom in the spring. Flowers die, leaves nourish the bulb. Leaves die, bulb lies dormant until next spring. Repeat sequence.

    Will take full sun. Don't like being too wet. Enjoy fertilizer.
