Caring for Your Fresh-Cut Tulips

Tulips continue to grow after being cut — a fun and unique trait! To help your tulips stay fresh on the trip home, we use a special flower hydration gel imported from Holland, the heart of tulip-growing tradition.  This gel helps keep stems hydrated and blooms protected until they can be placed in water.

For Best Results

  • Place tulips in cool water as soon as possible

  • Use a clean vase with fresh, cool water

  • Trim stems ½ inch at an angle

  • Remove leaves below the water line

  • Change water every 1–2 days and re-trim stems

  • Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat

  • Texas tip: Tulips last longer indoors in cooler rooms.

Saving Your Tulip Bulbs & Planting in Texas

  • Store bulbs immediately in a cool, dry place until fall.  Usually better to be in a brown sack

  • Then in early September place in refrigerator for 10-12 weeks.  Do NOT place near fruits or vegetables.

  • Once soil reaches a consistent 50 degrees, usually end of December beginning January you can plant

  • Full to partial sun

  • Well-drained soil

  • Plant bulbs 6–8 inches deep

  • Pointy side up

  • Space 4–6 inches apart

  • Water well after planting

  • Important note: Due to Texas’ warmer winters, tulips may not return every year — enjoy them as a seasonal experience, with any future blooms
