HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR TULIPS

To make sure you get the most from your blooming marvellous tulips, follow these simple steps:

Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline. This will avoid contaminating the water.
Re-cut the stems at a 45-degree angle to encourage maximum absorption of water.
Place your tulip flowers in a clean vase with freshly drawn cold water.
Position your tulips away from direct sunlight, drafts or radiators. Avoid extreme temperatures with any flower delivery.
Change the water every 2-3 days, ensuring you also clean the vase every time. Add Bloom Flower Food on every changeover.
Make sure to pick a supportive vase. Tulip flowers continue to grow by around an inch once they have been cut, so make sure you have support to allow for this.
Tulips bend and twist as they grow towards the light, so make sure to rotate every couple of days to keep them looking blooming marvellous.
