How can green tulip leaves after bloom time, be made to look tidy?

I just take my pruning shears and trim them to ground level

Cut the leaves into a fan shape and they stand up quite often on their own.

I was always told that you need to leave tulips leaves in tact after blooming so that they get nutrients for next year. But am not sure of this. I do not have good luck with tulips so just grow daffodils.

Hi Ton,

I cut my tulip leaves down to about 4-5" from the ground once they start to yellow at the top. The bulbs still get the nutrients from the stalk and it looks much neater. I hope that helps. Wishing you the best.

I had a friend who tied hers in bundles with twine.

do not prune the leaves until completely brown the bulbs feed from the foliage

Yes thanks
