How to Prune Leather-bulb tulip?
(Tulipa praestans)
Leather-bulb tulip, also known as Leather-bulb tulip
Known for its vibrant, multi-flowered stems, leather-bulb tulip benefits from meticulous pruning to promote robust growth and blooming. Adequate pruning involves removing wilted flowers right after they bloom and cutting back foliage once it has yellowed and died down naturally. The optimal pruning periods are late spring and early summer, post-blooming. This timely trimming encourages bulb rejuvenation for the subsequent season and prevents energy diversion to seed production, enhancing the overall plant vigor and floral display.
