Was hoping to get another year out of these Giant Orange Sunrise tulips from Burpee. The area where I have them unfortunately stays somewhat wet. I'm noticing that the leaves of the bulbs only around the bottom (most damp) area are starting to turn brown. Is this a natural part of the dying back process, or are these starting to rot and should I pull them all and start again next year? I'm in Louisville KY. Any insights would be appreciated - thanks!

Welcome to the site! It would help if you added a geographic location to your profile. Tulips like a well drained location, the leaves do turn brown after they are done blooming. Being lazy, I would leave them, and if you want to be assured of the blooms next year, you could plant more this fall...the worse that could happen would be that you would have double the blooms.
