What is the life of a tulip flower? ›

On average, tulip flowers last anywhere from 5 to 14 days, depending on various factors such as the tulip variety, environmental conditions, and care practices.

The tulip as duly noted in horticultural texts is a perennial flower. This means that a tulip should be expected to return and bloom year after year.

Tulips will need a full year's growth in order to start multiplying and spreading. This means that the initial process will begin after their first bloom in spring. When this process begins baby bulbs will sprout from the main tulip root. This usually creates 2 to 5 more bulbs each cycle.

So, planting your tulip bulbs in a sunny area increases the likelihood of them returning year after year. Once the tulips have finished blooming and starter to wither cut the dead heads from the tulips. This way the plant will preserve the energy it needs for the winter months.
