My flowers are in shock?

I think my flowers (mostly tulips) are in shock. I had to dig up the whole garden yesterday in order to rid it of a bunch of weeds and clovers and to make the arrangement look more symmetric...but now they are laying flat and won't stand straight.



I've given plenty of water and miracle grow to help them....but what else can I do to make them stand up tall again?

My flowers are in shock?
This is typical, and is called transplant shock. Some plants handle transplanting much better than others; some will totally curl up and die. Ever try to transplant a poppy? Most bulb plants including tulips survive transplanting fine, however they very likely will not do anything this season.



Now that you’ve done this, fall would have been a better time to have done your thorough weeding job.
Reply:leave them alone ,and you might get lucky enough to have the bulbs absorb the plant growth ,and bloom next season. I'm only saying lucky ,because of the 20/20/20 fertilization that you gave them might rot the bulb .you see a bulb s food is the dying vegetation that it produces ,meaning that it is SELF feeding.
Reply:If the bulbs are showing you have no chance. Sound like you have desturbed the bulbs but there is'nt much else you can do,exept if they are new flowers then tie a cane to them.
Reply:I personally wouldn't have done the miracle grow. If they are already in shock they aren't going to need the extra stimulation. I would just conctinue to water and see what happens.
Reply:did you move the tulips??

your best bet is to leave them alone and don't over water them either

and stay away from the miracle grow, I never use that stuff and my flowers and veggies do fine
Reply:as you say they are in shock just give just give TLC and see what happens
