Extend the vase life of your blooms with these flower care tips!

1. While tulips are still wrapped in paper collar trim the ends at a 45-degree angle.
2. Stand wrapped tulips into a clean vase with fresh water. If flower food is available, add it now.
3. Once tulips are fully re-hydrated (4-6 hours) remove the collar. Note: If your tulips re-hydrate in a limp position they will remain in that position even when re-hydrated. 
4. Enjoy your tulips! For the longest vase life, keep your tulips in a cool location out of direct sunlight, change the water regularly, and remove foliage that is below the waterline to prevent bacteria from growing.
