   • Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally

   • Once foliage has withered, lift bulbs and store in a cool, ventilated area

❄️ Refrigerating Bulbs for Warm Climates

Tulips need a cold period to bloom effectively. If your region lacks frost:

• Refrigerate bulbs for 6–8 weeks before planting

• Store in a breathable bag, away from ripening fruit/veg

  Proper chilling promotes taller stems and richer blooms.
