I am just moving them to a new place in my yard. I cut off the yellowed
leaves. Do I pull the thick brown layer from the bulbs? Do I seperate
the bulb clusters?

Thanks,

Are they perennial tulips? If not don't bother, chuck them out and plant
new ones come fall. They don't do well the 2nd year I find.


ALL tulips are perennial. If your tulips don't do well in their second
year it is because you are not feeding the bulbs correctly in their
first year.
