We’ve listed some interesting tips about Tulips below:

- Did you know that tulips are one of the few flowers that continue to grow, up to an inch or more, after they are cut and put into an arrangement? If you are preparing floral centerpieces for a specific event, make sure to cut your tulips about an inch or so shorter than you would want them to be at the event.

- Did you know that tulips’ blooms will follow the light? While you should not place your tulips in direct sunlight, they will tend to follow light in the room. This is part of the beauty and movement of the flower.

- Are the stems of your tulips weak or rubbery when you get them home? Tulips take a lot of water. A tip to proper hydration is to gently wrap your tulips in a couple of pieces of newspaper. Hold the stems under water and cut (this prevents air from stopping up the flow of water. Transfer wrapped tulips in water and preservative and let stand for 1-2 hours. Then remove paper and re-cut stems. Your tulips should be hearty and happy for 7-10 days! Don’t forget to keep your eye on the water levels, and continue to cut stems as necessary.
