It 's true. Start planting bulbs this time of year is cold and gray, for the less experienced a bit 'a lottery, a bit' a wonder, looking at the strange onions on the meaning of life of flowers and tulips ... Often give them to us, or maybe we bought them during the last trip to Holland, Germany, or in some countries of Northern Europe where we made captivated by the colors and legends about tulips.
So, armed with shovel, confidence and curiosity, we bring to our knees in the grass in garden, looking for an angle where to dwell bulbs and to show off the tulips in the spring.
"will become Kaukenhof" we think in the grip of crisis mystical type of imagery".

We are well into spring because, usually, unless freaks of nature or use of fertilizing, the first tulips begin to bloom between the beginning and the middle of April to be preserved in all their beauty until the first warm May. Initially you will see out of the land small dark green leaves with a central small heart tulip (flower) whose shape and color will vary according to the type and nature of your flower. As they take shape you can admire the beauty and enjoy it for a few weeks ...

Now that your tulips are blooming you only need to worry about that admire them and water them only when the soil is too dry. Do not overdo the water because they do not like too humid climates and even the intense heat (do not forget that the countries where it grows best are the Netherlands and the cooler areas of Turkey!).

If you decide to Feed or fertilize the soil you can do it in February and early summer but, personally, I almost always avoided (except some champion homage of fertilizer that I used to test the results and changes).
After a few weeks the tulip begins to fade, and even though it seems bad to leave the dry leaves and yellowing, it is good to wait to cut it in the ground because they release an organic liquid. It 'still necessary not to cut NEVER those leaves that are still green parts, and that, therefore, they are sending vital energy to the bulb!
The bulb typically produces tulips for years and, for this can be left in the same place where you have planted. However, many have a habit of digging up and rearrange the following autumn all the bulbs to make them "dry" a bit 'and verify dimensions and possible presence of small bulbs neighbors (they grow all the time!)
