We at Medford Designs Florist, want you to feel confident that your purchase of tulips from your local florists will last longer.

Now that Spring is here, There are many types of flowers that become available in the floral industry and tulips are defiantly one of the most well know flowers that are in their peak. Here are some tips for prolonging the life of your tulip arrangements.

Place your tulip arrangements in a cool area in your home or office and keep them away from any types of heat sources.

The tulip stems will also continue to grow once placed in water. They will often begin to curve and grow towards any light source.

Fresh tulips should arrive in your flower arrangement standing straight up however there are times that they will bend down. This is a normal reaction perhaps from being in the florist cooler and reacting to the sudden change in temperature. All they need is a little light and other times they will stand straight up on there own.

Keeping your tulips in fresh clean water and making sure the water line is covering the end of the stems. This should be done on a daily basis since tulip like to drink.

Even though they are available all year round in the spring time you can enjoy the many colors and varieties that are available. Just give your local florist a call and let them introduce you to a taste of what spring has to offer.
