I know tulips don't rebloom forever.This is what I don't understand.They still come up every year.I got tulips that I planted 20 years ago that still come up every year,they just don't bloom anymore.They are not dead,they just don't do anything.I do have this one patch,that has bloomed every year for 20 years in a row.I have told people this and they swear I'm lying.Well I'm not.I planted about 100 red tulips in the back yard about 5 years ago.The first year they all bloomed.After that different ones bloom every year.?They all come up,but maybe 25 of them bloom.There is no rhyme or reason to the pattern that they bloom or don't bloom.I've lived in my house for 20 years.I've got hyancinths that come up every year and for the most part bloom.Here is the kicker,I never planted them.They were planted by the former owner.I wonder how old they really are?Yes I try to plant some new tulips every other year or so.Is there any way to give new life to old bulbs?I do fertilize all my plants.What is the scoop.Your comments,experiences and suggestions...Please,Edge
