How to prune angelique double tulip

Deadhead as flowers fade (late spring); remove foliage once fully yellowed. Cut or snap the spent double bloom off just below its base. Support heavy stems if they flop, but do not cut them down. Allow leaves to yellow and wither fully before removing — this is especially important for double tulips, which need maximum bulb recovery time.

Once per season; replace bulbs every 2–3 years if performance declines. Angelique is a peony-flowered double tulip that benefits from deadheading once the heavy blooms fade in late spring. Remove spent flower heads but leave all stems and foliage until fully yellow and papery — typically 6 weeks. Double tulips often decline faster in UK climates and may need refreshing with new bulbs after 2–3 years.
