Tulips are timeless, elegant, and among the most popular flowers to gift and enjoy at home. To help you make the most of your bouquet, here are some essential tulip care tips to ensure your blooms stay vibrant and last longer.

WHY WILD POPPIES TULIPS ARE SPECIAL

We send out our tulips in tight bud form to maximize their longevity. This means you get to enjoy the full blooming process, watching them gradually open into stunning flowers. Tulips are also unique did you know they are the only flowers that continue to grow in water even after being cut?

Every tulip gift is delivered in our Wild Poppies signature gift bag, complete with tissue and ribbon trim, making it a truly thoughtful and stylish surprise.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TULIPS

1. Pick the Right Vase
   Tulips can be top-heavy, so place them in a tall, supportive vase. This prevents drooping and keeps them standing tall.
   
   
2. Use Fresh Water
   Fill your vase with 2/3 clean, cool water, flower food and change it every 1–2 days. Fresh water keeps tulips hydrated and prevents bacteria from shortening their vase life.
   
   
3. Trim the Stems
   Cut 1–2 cm off the stems at an angle before placing them in water. Repeat every few days to help them drink more effectively.
   
   
4. Keep Them Cool
   Tulips thrive in cooler environments. Keep them away from direct sunlight, heaters, and fruit bowls (fruit releases ethylene gas, which can make tulips wilt faster).
   
   
5. Revive Drooping Tulips
   If your tulips begin to bend, wrap them in paper, stand them in cool water for a few hours, and they’ll perk up beautifully.
