How to Care for Yellow Tulips
- 1). Leave the leaves intact until they are completely yellowed, which usually happens mid- to late June. The leaves produce food needed for next year's blooms. If you cut them too early, you will compromise flowers the following year.
- 2). Tie the yellowed leaves together loosely with twine if they are unattractive. Plant tall annuals around the tulips to hide them.
- 3). Cut the yellowed tulip leaves back to the ground with scissors once they have turned completely yellow.
