    The tulip bulb will only produce one flower per year. There is a trick to it and it’s important that you follow these steps: once your tulip flowers have faded, snap off the flower stem BUT leave the foliage/leaves to die back naturally. It’s not pretty, but they turn yellow and then brown. That helps the bulb store energy for next years tulip blooms.

    If you purchased a tulip that naturalizes (it will tell yon on the bag if this tulip naturalizes), the tulip bulbs will grow “babies” giving you more flowers next year. The flowers are greatly increased if you divide the bulbs every 2-3 years. Once you see the bulbs emerge, fertilize with a bulb fertilizer and fertilize again once the foliage dies away in late Spring.

    no other flowers. one flower per bulb. then u have to cut flower and leave leaves till they wilt in autumn. that’s why people plant bulb with roses or other later plants - they will cover leaves which u should not cut
