How to harvest, condition, and store tulips. Today I'm sharing four different ways to harvest tulips based on how the tulips will be used and sold. If you would like your tulips to come back next year, cut above 2-3 leaves and let the foliage die back naturally to replenish the bulb for next year. For the longest stem length pull up the entire plant. To harvest tulips for selling pull the entire tulip when you can see what color the tulip will be. For doubles and parrots harvest when fully colored. If using the cut tulips within five days remove the bulb, place into water, and put into your cooler set at 35 F. Tulips can be stored dry for many weeks. For dry storage harvest with the bulb attach and wrap the tulips in paper like a burrito. Place dry into your cooler at 35 F. When you want to rehydrate the tulips remove the bulb and place into water for 2 hours. The tulips will turn from limp noodles into strong stems once again

WOW, Danielle! You covered every need and situation in tulip harvesting so well! I sell at our Grocery Store, at a roadside stand, and to a florist, and all of them require being REALLY careful to make sure my tulips are at the right stage for selling. My Tulips are soon finished now (2, 000 of them, and I am waiting to harvest 40-50 Parrot Tulips for the Florist, and they are taking their good old time to color up. I don't think they will be ready for Mother's Day like I had hoped, but I do have Ranuncs sooooo. Thanks again!

THANK YOU! Best tulip storage video I've seen! I lost 1200 tulips this year - first year - new raised bed - awful weather - hot 80- - rain for 2 days - then 19- temps - all within days of them starting to bloom. It was heartbreaking! I sold about 200 but that was it - the rest died or never came up. BUT, I will try again next year thanks to your video - you give me hope!

Danielle, thank you! This was so helpful and detailed. I love your videos! I am interested in trying to grow more tulips and I know I need to get them into the ground in the fall. Can you recommend a good source for ordering tulip bulbs, especially the more unique ones? Also, when is the best time to order bulbs? Thank you again!
reply

This was a very helpful video! I bought an absurd amount of bulbs last fall and was looking for videos on what to do after the flowers are spent. I had no idea not all tulips will rebloom the following year. Now to research all my varieties so I-m handling them properly. Thank you!

Thank you for the most comprehensive, clear and detailed video on tulip harvest. It answered so many questions. Thanks again. Did you say you have another business? I'm curious. Your videos are the ones I always go to when I am researching something. Please keep them coming.

I have wrapped and not wrapped my tulips in dry storing with no difference. I have also dry stored with bulbs on and off. What I have noticed, the cut tulips are more limp yet bounce back quickly after I quick dip and hydrate them.
Thank you, Danielle.

This was a wonderful video. I learned so much! Thank you. I do have a question. I have never heard of that tulip fire; I believe you called it. So, should I be concerned about tulips I have growing in the landscape? Thank you.
reply

Very helpful video! I gave up on tulips several years ago due to deer eating them, but just ordered some. Thanks for the inspiration. Would you be willing to share info on your knitware business at some point in the future?
reply

This was a great video, thank you! The only question I still have is when you are rehydrating your tulips, do you use plain water or do you add flower food? Does hydrating with flower food extend vase life?
reply

Great video again, your informations are so accurate and well explained. Thank you for your effort! - For me the late tulips are over, so I can't try the storage method. But next year --Greetings, Judit

did not know about tulip fire, will make amends moving forward. luckily have not yet suffered as have been growing now 3 years in the same row; but will definitely begin rotation. thanks for sharing.
reply

Once again, so much great information presented. Thank you so much for taking the time to share!
When it is time o harvest ran ranunculus can you please talk about storage too. THANK YOU!

reply

What do you do when you want to use the tulip space for something else after they die back, but want to save the bulbs for next year? Do you just dig and store the bulbs after drying them?
reply

Great info on tulips. They do not winter over here in my 8a garden so I discounted planting them. Now, with the thought of treating them as annuals I may try again: )
reply

I'm new to growing tulips but I love them, can you tell us how to store tulips we want to keep and grow again next year, but don't want to leave in the ground? Thanks -
reply

Can you do this storage method with Anemones? They bloom now, but not all at once, so I could hold off some for a nice bouquet - Thank you, Judit
reply

I never knew about dry storing! That's amazing you can hold them over for 2 weeks. Thank you so much for teaching me yet another new thing!
reply

Not only do I love your garden but I think you are an incredible teacher. The fact that you are a reader shines through in your discussions.
reply

Great to hear about your farm stand. Could you i a video sometime for us to see your farm stand? That would be great. Thank you
reply

Wow. 7 years? Also what is your knitting business? You are so creative! Thanks again for sharing!
