Water: Tulips 'Green River' require minimal watering, typically just once after planting. During flowering, maintain soil moisture; water occasionally for potted plants.

Fertilize: Tulips 'Green River' is typically used as single-season bulbs, either discarded post-bloom or stored after summer. Fertilizer is generally unnecessary, but for poor soil, a balanced fertilizer or bone meal can be mixed in during planting.

Pruning: Tulips 'Green River' thrive with vibrant blooms and sturdy foliage. Prune spent flowers and yellowing leaves in early to late spring to redirect energy for growth.
