Tulips are propagated by division and seeds. After the first flowering, tulips begin to actively reproduce. Small shoots growing from the bulb indicate that it is mature and ready to produce daughter bulbs. Once the bulbs are dug up, you can remove the daughter bulbs or grow them in a container. In three years, the bulbs will grow to a good size for a large flower. Although many of the smaller bulbs produced will not bloom the following year, you can save them for future use. Plant tulip bulbs twice as deep as the height of the bulb. Water the bulbs generously to stimulate root growth and future flowering. Enthusiasts can grow tulips from seeds. Wait until the seed pods are ripe and dark brown. Then carefully collect the seeds and store them in a dark, dry place until the following spring.
