What you are seeing is a perfectly normal part of the life cycle of bulbs. After they bloom, in about four to eight weeks, the foliage begins to yellow and die. It will completely disappear (dormancy) and then reappear next fall right on schedule. The foliage is in the ripening stage right now, feeding the bulb underground and forming next year's bloom. Don't do anything to it.

All this being said, you are so far north, that I do wonder a little if this isn't happening somewhat early for your area. If your bulb bloomed at least a month ago, you're good to go. If this is the first year you planted it, and the foliage has been standing at least four weeks or so, you're also okay. Also, the foliage in the picture is definitely not a tulip or a lily. It looks somewhat like a hyacinth, but I'm not positive.

Clear as mud, right?

I should have mentioned that this is BEFORE bloom. It sprouted 2-3 weeks ago and this is what it looks like now.

I guess it will be a surprise since I don't remember what it should be. This is what I remember ordering: allium gladiator, crocus, iris blue magic, tulip red boquet, lily lollipop, lily oriental, narcissus lemon beauty, and peony.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.
I tried searching for why it looks the way it does, but many things I read talk about this happening after bloom and this hasn't even bloomed yet.

Dry tips turning brown look like salt or fertilizer burn. Usually more of a problem with chemical fertilizer than organic, but you did not say what organic you used. Also a plant should be well watered before being fertilized. Of the plants listed I cannot be sure which one it is although I can be sure of some it is not. Al

That looks like allium foliage to me, and if so, the dried tips are perfectly normal. I plant mine behind other stuff to hide it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Allium foliage (no pics, tho)

Oh, Thanks! That's great news! I can't wait to see what my Allium flower looks like.

The bad news is that another bulb that looked just like this one got eaten by a vole or similar critter about 2 weeks ago

I've been trying to discourage moles and voles, but they're still there. I still see new mole tunnels and I've seen three shrews, two I trapped with mouse trap, and one I saw peeking out of a hole. I applied castor oil to the area about 5 days ago, but I still see new mole tunnels. Hopefully they will go away soon.

Thanks a bunch for your input!!!

My Gladiator allium foliage looks just like that. I'm guessing the brown tips are from it starting to sprout while it is still cold.
