Tulips are a perennial flower that can be harvested when the buds have plumped up and developed color but are still tightly closed. To ensure long-lasting blooms, it is essential to pick out tulips that haven’t fully opened yet. To create a stunning bouquet, start by choosing tulips at the right stage and look for buds that are just beginning to open.
To arrange tulips in a vase, mix tulip stems with closed or tight buds for longer-lasting blooms. Remove lower leaves to prevent them from getting mushy underwater and cut tulip stems at an angle every 1-2 days and replace them. Lily-flowered tulips present a more elegant and refined silhouette, while Rembrandt tulips, striped or marbled in contrasting colors, add a touch of elegance.
Understanding how and when to cut tulips from your garden to display indoors will help you get the most out of these colorful spring flowers. When properly cut and cared for, garden-fresh tulips will reward you. Understanding the intricacies of tulip growth and how to properly pick these flowers can enhance their splendor in a vase and help in your garden’s continued prosperity.
When harvesting tulips, cut them up by the stem if you are harvesting the flowers, and pull them out if you want to harvest the bulb. Choose varieties that are at least 16 inches tall, as longer stems are more valuable and versatile. By hand, gently wiggle and pull up the tulip, bulb, and all. It is best to harvest in the morning before the heat of the day.
