Floristry Tips. Beautiful tulips come in many different varieties and colours. Some have plain petals and others are fringed around the edges.
Once tulip stems are cut they continue to grow towards the light. You may be making a design and you want the flower heads to sit in a certain position.
You can give extra support by inserting the end of a 22 gauge wire x 45cm long into the base of the flower head for about 3-5cm and wind the wire spirally down and around the stem 3 or 4 times and cut of the excess wire.
For some designs you might like the tulips to be fuller – such as a table centrepiece where they need to be at their best for a short period of time.
If the tulip petals are soft you can gently open them up more by gently holding the base of each petal and turning them back and then spray them lightly with water. Only do this for soft petals, if the petals are firm they will tear. Allow the tulips to have a long drink of water first and the petals will open more and be softer.
