Do tulips rebloom?
Tulips bloom once during a growing season and then gradually go dormant. They will rebloom for you next spring, if you allow the foliage to die down naturally. Tulips benefit from a feeding right after bloom as new bulbs are forming. This is true whether you live in a cold climate where Darwin and other hybrid tulips rebloom for several years, or in a mild climate where you can grow species types (Tulipa bakeri ‘Lilac Wonder’, for instance) that come back year after year. Dutch growers use a 12-10-18 formulation, but any balanced fertilizer (such as 12-1 2-1 2) will do. Wait until foliage turns yellow to remove it. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1216/is_3_210/ai_98123932 1.
