Why are my tulips not blooming?

Our Advice:

There are several reasons why tulips may not be blooming, including planting too shallow, overcrowding, disease, or damage from pests. Make sure to plant the bulbs at the correct depth and spacing, and monitor for pests and diseases. If the bulbs are not blooming, they may need to be lifted and divided or replaced with fresh bulbs.
