Can You Cut Lilies Down After They Bloom? Spring flowering tulips (Tulipa spp.) produce cup-shaped upright blooms on tall stalks surrounded by blade-like leaves. Most varieties grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8 or 9, returning each year with a fresh round of flowers when provided with proper spring care. Although the flowers are short-lived, the foliage persists for several weeks and requires proper cutting back for the bulbs to remain perennial.
