Tulips Care Instructions |
 |
 |
The third most popular flower
world-wide next only to the Rose
and Chrysanthemum, Tulips
were the symbol of the Turkish
Empire. These notorious flowers
were responsible for the creation
of a movement in Europe, especially
Holland popularly referred to
as “Tulipmania”, where
many sold of their fortunes in
the craze for tulips. Shipped
in bud form directly from the
“land of tulips” in
Holland, our tulips travel a long
distance, and may appear thirsty
upon arrival. |

Tulips Care Tip:
Leave your tulips in the wrap and trim about an inch of the stems. Placed the wrapped tulips in a vase for about an hour, to ensure that the stems are sturdy and take in water better. Tulips are heavy drinkers, so make sure you feed them fresh water daily.

Tulips Arranging Tip:
Tulips continue
to grow and change after being cut,
so leave enough room for tulips
to grow and move while arranging.
Don’t be afraid to cut, as
your bouquet will look good with
tulips in varying lengths. Tulips
have a natural tendency to bend
and lilt, to seek light.

Tulips IMPORTANT TIP:
Tulips keep growing in a vase gaining an inch or so in height with a tendency to bend, and twist and turn towards sources of light. To straighten bent tulips, wrap the stems tightly in damp newspaper, secure with an elastic band, and stand in deep, lukewarm water with light directly above them. Leave for a couple of hours.
