    • Apply a high-nitrogen topdressing when the first shoots appear

  • After Flowering:
    • Remove faded flowers but allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish bulbs
    • Lift bulbs once foliage yellows and store in a ventilated, cool area in a net bag

🌡️ Refrigerating Tulips for Warmer Climates

Triumph tulips require a cold winter to bloom properly. If you live in an area without frost, pre-chill bulbs in a fridge for 6-8 weeks before planting.

  • Do not freeze bulbs
  • Refrigerated bulbs grow taller and flower earlier

🌿 Growing as Annuals in Warm Climates
