Dig Tulip Bulbs Now Save Small Bulbs for Future
Domestic tulip growers face exhausted supplies and possible imports from the Netherlands next fall. Pella residents urged to preserve existing bulbs by lifting and dividing bulblets, drying mother bulbs, and storing bulblets until October for replanting in rows. It takes two to three years to bloom. Dry storage is recommended to protect bulbs from rats and other pests. Tulips should be dug every second or third summer to rest until October.
