I planted Purisima white tulips three years ago-this year they have come up a lemon colour!! Any ideas as to why this has happend

Thanks

    Could be a few different things.  Have they all turned yellow?  Every single one?  Are you growing them in full sun?  If it's just a few, it could be due to the age of the bulb.. or the original has now died and one of the bulblets is blooming.. or lack of sun?  If all of them are now yellow.. I'd guess tulip fairy mischief.   image

    Hi Blue Onion, all have turned yellow; they are in a box partare in a sunny spot and also in pots elsewhere in the garden. Very strange! Thanks for the reply,

    I was going to ask the same question. Mine have been white with huge cups for 8-9 years. This year all yellow.  Can I do anything to persuade them to revert to white?  Mags

    I should also add the cups are much smaller!
