WHEN TO PRUNE A TULIP 🌷 Frankie Flowers

Spring brings the vibrant beauty of tulips, but knowing when to prune off their flowers is crucial 🌷 After the tulip flowers have wilted, it's important to remove the flower stalks to prevent the plant from wasting energy on seed production.

However, it's essential to leave the foliage untouched 🌿 Although not as visually striking as the flowers, the leaves play a vital role in replenishing the bulb's energy reserves through photosynthesis 🌷🌿 Allowing the foliage to turn yellow and wither naturally ensures the bulb's health and vitality for the following year's bloom.

So, remember to prune the spent flower stalks while leaving the foliage intact, and you'll enjoy a stunning display of tulips year after year. Happy gardening! 🌷🌿🪴
