I pull out ripped tulips with bulbs, agitate my neighbor to snatch theirs too.
Digging up tulips after flowering in the open ground. Ask why. Yes, there are reasons for everything. Especially if the flowers change color, shape and size over time. Motley tulips are not an interesting quirk of nature, but a signal that in the very near future your collection may come to an end.
GettyImages For many, flowers are not just an occasion for little joy or a small hobby. Some gardeners treat them as their own children. For others, it is a matter of earning bread. So such a seemingly frivolous question can lead to the most serious consequences.
Digging up tulips after flowering in the open ground Tulips are beautiful flowers. Thanks to the Dutch. A huge palette of colors, shapes and sizes. It would seem that you can take and ruthlessly uproot such beauty? But in some cases it must be done in the most ruthless way: with the root.
It's all about colorful flowers with the wrong shape of the bud. And no, you don't have to run to the keyboard and you have the strength to prove that it's such a special kind. Like, terry-tulip. This is not about them.
For those gardeners who are not the first year in the topic, it will not be news that their flower harvest can sometimes be replenished with several “non-standard” units. They planted the earth, for example, with a “dreamland” or “primavera”, and after a couple of years they were surprised how it was that some buds in flowers changed their shape and color. It's a mystery.
And in fact, this is not mysticism, but the most natural. virus. It's a variegated virus, if you will. It is accompanied by quite obvious changes in shape and color. And from it, the flower itself becomes smaller and begins to bloom a little later than its other neighbors. In fact, you will not immediately realize that it is the same variety of tulips. But fighting this virus is pointless.
phere what to do is simple destroy. We advise you to get a useful tool like rooter. The only way to fight the infection. Under no circumstances should a secator be used. The affected roots will infect neighboring plants. Moreover, we would even advise not to use gloves alone when working with infected and uninfected flowers.
The first "bells" may not appear immediately. For example, a few years after landing. First there will be one “narrowed” copy, next year there will be several. The more time passes, the more significant will be the number of affected plants. In the end, you can lose not just one type of tulips, but a whole lawn.

For people who breed tulips professionally, this virus means very bad news. No one wants to lose a unique expensive variety and see how it turns into an incomprehensible color of a freak. After all, every breed has its own characteristics and signs. It’s like breeding a husky and finding out that the mother dog somewhere walked and woke up very cute puppies, however, more like pugs.
The opinion of the people, as it often happens, can be absolutely polar. If someone mentions a virus, they may also be laughed at. Most often they give arguments about the degeneration of the variety and about some mythical “overpollination”. All this is nonsense and is not even worth the time spent on its analysis.
Some gardeners-amateur simply touch unusual flowers. They may not even mind if their flowers all take on such an "interesting and unusual" shape at some point. They say that on the market these tulips are disassembled the fastest.
As for professionals and collectors, our advice is simple and categorical. The virus needs to be combated, and we have already described the only method of this fight. Damaged flowers are best burned. Perhaps leave a bouquet with a couple of favorite buds and put the house in a vase. But no one knows for sure how this will affect the rest of the crop.
We hope that you will take our advice as a direct plan for action. Taking a root remover and a little “hunting” for infected flowers does not take much time. At first, the virus is not very active. Otherwise, we hope that your garden will not be damaged and you can enjoy the beautiful view. Exactly the way he planned it, not the way the variegated pedigree virus will remake it for you.
