Apply a very dilute fertilizer twice a month. Allow the foliage and flower stems to yellow completely before removing them.

Lilies will return in your garden and they will often multiply as well. Plant lilies where they will be getting at least 6 hours of dead-on sun.
Tulips are the least reliable about blooming in subsequent years. Add the four-week growth period to the chilling time requirement and count backward from your estimated flowering date.
Try to begin chilling 18 weeks before the desired flowering time. Use the longest chilling time possible, up to 14 weeks, to ensure dormancy is broken. If you are pressed for time, you can chill the tulips for as little as 10 weeks, but any less likely won't result in flowering.
Pot tulips before placing them in cold storage for chilling. Plant five bulbs in a 5-inch-diameter pot with the flat bottom of the bulbs angled toward the sides of the pot. The tip of each bulbs should set above the soil surface.
