How to Make tulips come back year after year

- So many ask me about how to make tulips come back year after year. There are few things about aftercare I will share wit you in this video.
First of all, you need to deadhead - remove the seed heads once the blooms have faded. And then allow the stems and foliage to die back naturally.
One more very important thing is to plant the bulbs in a sunny spot (in the autumn), so they will be ‘baked’ during the summer.
In this video I’m also showing how I have planted the bulbs between perennials, which is hiding the withering stems and foliage.
My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.

Claus, NEVER knew you had to deadhead tulips and daffodils. I'll definitely do that from now on. Beautiful garden. Thanks for your channel.
I know...I normally actually do, but this year, with the tulips, I thought I'd like to see what the seed head look like. Oops. I suppose I'll go cut them now, but it's maybe too late? Mine (Connecticut, US) have been finish for about three weeks.
@@nspector I’m in central Indiana, and even if you deadhead tulips you get spotty blooming next year if any at all. I’m resigned to ripping them out and replanting every Fall. By contrast, I have so many daffodils it’s impossible to deadhead them. For over 20 years they have come back and bloom very well.
@@ransomcoates546 Yes, my tulips were second year this season, and fewer and smaller than last year, but still an ok show. By next year I figure there will be very few. My daffodils actually never naturalized, and, though they came back for many years, they were fewer and fewer, and now there are almost none. But it's only this year that I truly have full full sun (took down a couple of trees), so I may try again.
I am so glad you are sharing your gardens here on CZcams. They are so beautiful. We just purchased 6.58 acres and have begun to plant many garden room’s. You are inspiring my journey!
You have a garden most of us can only dream of. Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you.
I love that long armed pruner! I’ve not seen one like it, but now, I’m in the hunt, 😂. Thank you Claus
you can find them on amazon.com! :)
Thank you so much! Just placed my order🤗
@@robingrunzweig1880 , thanks so much Robin!
Thank you Claus, I have always cut my tulip stalks near the ground - I will stop doing that now! Your garden is stunning.
Same here.
I, too, have cut the stems very short but left the leaves. No more! Thank you for the insight, Claus!
When you cut them to the ground instead of letting them die naturally......do you get blooms the following year?
The upright Lamium is lovely threaded amongst all the spring blooms 🌸
@@karie3 Mine do come back even though I cut the stem fairly close to the ground. I think leaving the leaves is the most important part. In some borders the stems do stick out like a sore thumb, and sometimes it's nice to cut tulips a bit early and enjoy them in a vase.
I learned something new. I knew you needed to leave the tulip leaves in order to feed the bulb for future years but I didn’t know you had to leave the stem! Thanks Claus..
Thanks for the info, Claus!
Your tulips are amazing! These videos are inspiring!
Dear Claus, I found you through Laura. I‘m jalous of her ESPOMA products like Bio-tone Starter or Land & Sea Compost. I hope you‘ll let us know what we can use in Europe instead. Your garden is stunning!
I had the same thought.
Here in Oregon I am also unable to find Land & Sea. 😞
I order on Amazon
@@cynthiapetrone562 We all know Amazon. In which European country do you order?
@@highlights-verlagtv8120 I'm from USA. I'm sorry , maybe it's not available to Europe?
Thank you Claus! Found you through Laura. Beautiful garden!
You have the most stunning garden Claus.
Thank you so much for sharing your secrets learned after many years of work 🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷
Your beautiful garden is a masterpiece. I love all of your beautiful plants. 🪴🌼🌷🌸🌿
Thank you so much - that is very kind.
Wow what a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing about tulips I never knew I had to cut them back,
Dear Claus. I bought a tool like you have. It makes so much fun to cut my Flowers in the big boarders of my cottagegarden. Thank you, thank you so much. Dont kNOW till now that this tool existed.😊
Hello Claus, Hello english viewers! Beautiful flowers, great information.
Your gardens are stunning Claus. Such important information. I'm so happy to see you now on CZcams.
Thank you Claus on the tulip tips!!!
Please add CC on a continuous basis for the hearing impaired. TY
Hi, can I ask you, is the CC something the video maker can have CZcams do automatically (and sometimes poorly), or do you mean proper captioning that a person would transcribe? I'm asking because I don't see a CC option on this video and am wondering why it is not automatic. Thanks.
Good morning Claus, I love to go through the Garden, here in Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸.
I love your Dead-head extender.
I'm excited to see your Garden next month 👩🌾👍
Thank you ....delightful and informative! You certainly add to the enjoyment and excitement of gardening 💚🇺🇸💚💚
Greetings from Cincinnati Ohio. I love 💘your your work. I'm encouraged to plant tulips 🌷this coming fall because I've never really been fond of them. Your container tulips are just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your secrets.
Thank you for all the great information Claus. Love your garden ❤️💜🤗💕🌸🌺
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for the great tips today Claus!
Thank you. I like that you put up the name of the plant in text on the screen. Very helpful!
I will stop Deadheading those stems...dang wish I had know that earlier...but then again I’m so thankful to know that now! Thanks Claus your great and appreciated.
Thank you Claus, it is a delight to take a stroll through your beautiful garden on CZcams. I can’t wait to see you roses in bloom.
I love seeing your gorgeous garden and always learn something from you. Thank you!
Thank you Claud ,what a pleasure I is on o visit your gsrden
I like you love my containers and Dalia,s what a beautiful display
Thank you for inspiring me to do more
Lovely gardens and I learn something every time. Thank you.
I was sitting here with a blanket watching this video again and you made me get up and go outside into the freezing cold to deadhead just one umm, not daffodil but the other narcississ, can't think of the name right now. That flower stem came up early and is finished. I only have a small clump in the ground with several new flowers on it at the moment. So thank you so much for the tip x
PS. Deadheading is a pleasure for me too and I have nothing else to deadhead. I go out and deadhead every morning and usually 3 times a day. The possums do a lot aliveheading for me. I'm hoping for the plants to bush up and not be totally destroyed. I love having the possums visit but they cost me a fortune in replacement seedlings. They love the berries in winter on the neighbours trees planted very close to the adjoining fence. Actually, they are planted between the fence and their medium sized shed so I actually get all the benefits from them. I have been feeding the possums certified organic apples, minus the seeds which I eat for the vitamin B17, as well as certified organic Brazil Nuts which I eat for the Selenium.
I watched your Instagram livestream earlier. Am looking forward to seeing the garden of that man and Rob. I am following them now. They had beautiful photos up, then I realised that they were of your beautiful home and garden x

Thank you for this information. Very helpful for me and my garden.
Never thought of deadheading the tulips, thank you for sharing useful tips with us!
Wow so beautiful flowers,sir❤️🌹👍👌🙏
Where to deadhead a tulip-well, that’s a garden changer for this gal in northeast Indiana! I am writing down all of your flowers and starting my “Claus Dalby” wishlist!
Cool tool! Would love to see your tool collection and how you organize garden tools and supplies!
Claus I am loving your garden. Your springtime color palette is so beautiful. God bless
Beautiful garden! That's my goal!
I've learned something again. I've always cut the whole flower stem not just the flower head. Thank you again
Hello Claus, lovely to see how things are going in your beautiful garden and to hear your tips for the tulips. Really looking forward to your video on peonies, they are a big favourite of mine. Best wishes
I just love your manner. Such calm enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your garden and time
Thanks for sharing! Your garden is so lovely.
I am so glad I came across your videos! I love your passion. Passion is what I had ten years ago and seemed to have lost it for awhile. We have been having someone else weed our gardens for several years but after losing more and more bulbs every year I have decided to minimize our gardens so that won't happen anymore. Also came to the realization that when I had passion for gardening I wasn't dealing with a lot of weeds in ground like I am now. So maybe going back to container gardening is the key for me!
Thank you so much for your kind comments about my videos - that is very kind. All the best with container gardening, should you decide to go bak to that.
Wow I want to visit your garden!
Thank you Claus for sharing different varieties of flowers, shrubs, etc. I enjoy seeing the more unusual varieties! I also like the vine growing under your window- What a great idea! Very artistic!
I love your garden, and I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Tulips are truly Beautiful Flowers....i love it...🌷🌷🌷
Tulips cannot live in my garden due to Tropical weather...
Thank you for sharing your Beautiful collection of Tulips... Sir.
Good wishes to you and yours...Claus Dalby
Claus, you are an inspiration. I am watching you from Canada where we have had an early but unusually dry spring. Please send some moisture our way 😉
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Beautiful gardens!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for being here.
Such a beautiful garden! I am learning so much as well.
Love your garden!
I REALLY ENJOY YOU AND i LEARN SO MUCH FOR I KNEW VERY LITTLE, BUT I LOVE FLOWERS. YOUR GARDEN IS BEAUTIFUL AND SO ARE YOU.
Love your gardens.
Beautiful garden, Claus! Thanks for the great tulip tips!
Beautiful!
Thank you for the tips on growing tulips , I just ordered 700 bulbs and I’m going to use these tips from you !
Good luck!
@@ClausDalbyEnglish thank you 😊
Hi Claus, great tip about the sunny spot if the tulips should flower again. I didn't know that. I took mine out of a pot and burriet them into the ground in a sunny spot, by accident. 😉🤗
What a beautiful video!
You are very kind - thank you so much and thank you for being here.
Beautiful garden! Thank you so much for sharing.
I never knew that you have to deadhead the tulips and daffodils. I love tulips and have tried growing them. The first year’s are beautiful but the following year only a few blooms so I don’t want to spend any more money on tulips. You gave me such a great idea to mixed all those flower’s together in a garden instead of planting in sections.
I am pleased to hear that you find inspiration in what I do here.
Beautiful gardens! Thank you so much for bringing us along and offering you tips to care for our own gardens. I sincerely appreciate!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You and your gardens are awesome, Claus!
Hi, Claus that part of the garden reminds me of the cottage garden my grandparents have in the coffee farm . Send you a warm Caribbean hug.
Thank you! Love your dead head tool!
Beautiful
Thank you Claus. I need to look for a deadhead extender, I have never seen one but maybe because I didn’t know I need it. I will love it for my climbing roses. I am truly enjoying every video.
Beautiful garden! Looking forward to seeing it though the summer and autumn.
Tack för ännu en trevlig video från din trädgård!
Looking forward to seeing more of your garden as the season progresses.😃
Thank you for sharing! I love your garden so much and your beautiful, clear videos! I'm so happy you are on CZcams! ❤️
Enjoyed infuzed my self into planing 2023 with tulips & lilies as time fillers , awaiting roses to come alive . thankyou
