Flower Care

If you care properly for your wholesale Standard Tulips, they should last at least 5-8 days in the vase.

Proper flower care begins with the timing of your delivery. We recommend you schedule your flowers to arrive 3 days before the actual event. For a Friday or Saturday wedding your flowers should be delivered on the Wednesday before. Normally they will arrive before 10:30 am, depending on your service area.

1. Cut tulip stem ends to create fresh surface to absorb water and remove any faded stem base.
2. If tulip stems are slightly bowed, trim stem tips and roll the tulips in newspaper with the paper extending above the flower tops, but not covering the lower third of the stems. Place them upright in water with a source of light directly above them. Leave
3. Remove all foliage below the water line and place in a clean container filled with cool water and, optionally, floral preservative.
4. If you do not add floral preservative, change the water and re-cut the stems every day or so.
5. Place tulips in a spot with even light, or rotate frequently as tulips will turn to face the sun
6. Tulips are sensitive to ethylene (which comes from fresh vegetables and fruits, especially bananas) which makes them open faster, but also age faster. Depending on your preference, place them away from or near fresh fruit and vegetables.
7. After a day, your arrangement may seem a bit larger - tulips continue to grow for about a day after they’re placed in water.

SPECIAL EVENTS OR GENERALLY LONGER VASE LIFE
8. If you purchased your tulips ahead of time for a special event, cut the stems and place them in water (and floral preservative if you choose) as above.
9. Place your tulips in an area away from direct sunlight until ready for your event. We also recommend cooler temperatures and high relative humidity if possible.

For your Wedding or Special Event, we recommend that you have your Wholesale Flowers or Wedding Flowers delivered 3 days before the actual event. For a weekend event, your flowers should be delivered on the Wednesday (or Thursday at the latest). Schedule lilies 3 to 5 days before your event so they have time to open.

We use FedEx for overnight delivery service. Your flowers will most likely be delivered before 10:30am. If you are in an extended delivery area, they should arrive by 5 p.m. Contact FedEx for the guaranteed delivery time for your delivery Zip Code.
