Myths and Tips

Piercing the stem of a tulip will not help the flower to stay rigid.
Putting a copper penny in the water has no effect.
Only putting a couple of inches of water in a vase is not adequate. Tulips drink all the way up the stem, the higher the water the better.
Leaves on the stem do help the Tulip flower to mature and colour up so leave leaves on.
Tulips do continue to grow after being cut, up to 2″ whilst in your vase.
If Tulips are floppy cover then totally, flower and all, in tepid water for an hour. This will condition them and firm them up.
