Wild Tulip Care

During flowering Tulipa sylvestris like to be quite wet. In this time, especially when there is little rain, you should always keep the soil well moist. About 2-3 weeks after flowering, do not administer additional water.

The Wild Tulip does not need a pruning. If you do not want to receive seeds or avoid them multiplying by their seeds, you can cut off the withered plant parts. At the same time, this ensures that the force now migrates to the next onion generation, which will then produce many new flowers next year. The leaves remain on the plant until they are properly dried. Then they can be easily removed.

The summer is best spent in the dry. If the location is ideal, Tulipa sylvestris species need no horticultural care, no fertilization. In order to promote the willingness to flower, one sometimes meets the recommendation to fertilize them during the flowering period weekly. Here everyone should rely on their own experiences over time. In any case, no fertilizer is used after flowering.
