Tulip season is here! As spring warmth arrives, these vibrant bulb flowers from the Liliaceae family burst into bloom in gardens and window boxes. With their dazzling colors and countless varieties, tulips are an essential, affordable bloom, symbolizing love and fertility—even the national flower of the Netherlands. They're low-maintenance when planted, but cut tulips in a bouquet require specific care to thrive.
To keep your tulip bouquet looking fresh, start right at the florist: choose flowers with tightly closed buds that haven't opened yet. At home, use a sharp knife or scissors to trim 1-2 cm from the stems at a bevel for optimal water uptake. Remove the bottom leaves to prevent rot in the vase. Opt for a tall vase for better support, and refresh with clean, cool water daily.
Follow these expert tips to enjoy your tulip bouquet for days longer.
