17 years in the right conditions Sometimes longer if they fully naturalise (Darwin Hybrids do particularly well) and you're somewhere with a climate they like. We're in the Southern UK and have some red and some yellow Appeldoorn (I think), that were there when we moved in 20 years ago, and are still going strong! We don't do anything other than admire them when they come up. Tulips like a climate that is similar to the Turkish slopes they come from originally - cold frosty winters and long hottish dry summers. They are very cold tolerant usually. The only thing to watch is slugs and rabbits - they love them too.

Tulips are perennial plants that typically live for 3-7 years. They require well-drained soil and a period of dormancy in cold temperatures to thrive. After blooming, their foliage should be allowed to die back naturally to feed the bulb for the next growing season.

How do tulips live?

Updated: 6/1/2024

In the ground, if tulips naturalise, they can last 20 years plus.

In flower, they can last for several weeks under the right weather conditions.

In the vase, up to a week.

It does vary according to variety, with Darwin Hybrids generally lasting longer.
