OP gardeningmomma Member G Joined: Mar 2006 NY	I have some beautiful tulips that have bloomed. Do I go ahead and cut them back? And wil they grow again next year? Or do I have to take the bulbs out and start again? Thank you.

Anonymous Unregistered A	yup, you can leave them in. i always put a good, heavy layer of leaves over all my gardens in the fall... nature's insulator works the best and it's free!!
