First try to remove the faded flower petals(the blossom) and discard in a compost pile or the garbage. Then snap the pistil(top three inches of the stem) off. Snapping off the pistil sends energy back down into bulb growth. Allow the green foliage/leaves to yellow. The period may last several weeks. You must be patient. After they start to yellow you can cut the foliage off at ground level. Cutting the foliage/leaves down while they are still green is like stripping a tree of its leaves. See similar questions...

If you add mulch to protect them they may be OK. Usually, when the temperature drops down to 32 degrees F stem elongation really slows down but doesn't stop altogether. You might add 6 to 8 inches of protective mulch during the cold period and then when warmer temperatures return, take it off. See similar questions...

Tulips were introduced into the Netherlands at the end of the 16th century by Carolus Clusius. People in the Netherlands were quick to take an interest in these bulbs and started experimenting with growing them in the gardens around their homes. Because the demand for tulips grew, an increasingly professional approach was devoted to their cultivation, and it turned out that the coastal area ? and especially the strip of land just inside the Dutch dunes - had the perfect conditions for this.
