My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

When to remove bulbs from planter

16 years ago

Hi all,

I bought some forced tulip bulbs in the early spring and put them in round planter that's about 18 inches across and 18 inches deep.

The foilage is almost done dying back. It's about 80% yellow and some of it is brown.

Once it's completely died back, will it be safe to remove the bulbs? I want to let them dry out and transplant them into the ground this fall.

Thanks!

Kim
