They are done for the year, and if your climate is too hot and humid, they
are done forever. (They need a prolonged cold period in winter to be
perennial). You should let the foliage die down naturally - this is how the
bulb makes food for next year. If you cut them down too quickly, you will
guarantee that they will not return next year, or will only send up a few
straggly leaves. Ask experienced gardeners in your area if tulips come back
reliably. If not, you might as well rip them out of the ground, so that you
can plant something else in the same spot for summer.

My tulips have just about finished blooming and petals are hitting the
ground. Can I expect a second bloom or are they finished for the year?
If finished, should I prune the stem and where?



Thanks,
