(How To Care For Cut Tulips)

MAKING TULIPS LAST LONGER

Buy fresh tulips with strong stems and tight flower buds. Avoid buying them when they are fully opened as they will not last very long.

DO NOT remove them from the cellophane wrapper or remove the rubber bands. Just leave it for now.

Fill a bowl with COLD water and make fresh cuts on your stems while holding the stems under the water.

Immediately place the tulips in a tall narrow vase filled with ice water. Leave them just like that OVERNIGHT. 

In the morning you can remove the wrapping and move the flowers to any vase you choose.

Enjoy your perky and fresh spring tulips!
