watering
Watering Lady Tulip plants (Tulipa clusiana) can depend on several factors, but generally, the plants should be watered every 1-2 weeks. The amount of water will vary, depending on how warm or dry the environment is. In warmer climates, you may need to water Lady Tulip plants more often than in cooler climates; in excessively dry conditions you may need to water more often. In general, plants should be watered until the soil is moist, but not soggy. If you find that the soil has become very dry between watering, it's ok to give your Lady Tulips an extra drink. It is important to avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot or other damage to the plant.
sunlight
Lady tulip requires full sunlight or at least 6 hours of direct light per day and will perform best in areas that receive at least 8 hours of sunlight each day. Direct morning light and filtered afternoon sun is best. Avoid deep shade as lady tulips will not perform in this type of location. In some areas, lady tulips may benefit from some afternoon shade to prevent the foliage from overheating.
pruning
Lady tulip (Tulipa clusiana) should be pruned in early spring, before the growing season starts. Pruning should be minimal, removing only dead or diseased stems, and removing spent flowers shortly after they have bloomed. Pruning should extend no more than 1-third of the total height of the plant. This will ensure the beautiful blooms of the Lady Tulip each season.
