Perfect love

Tulips keep growing after they are cut and lean toward the light, so the bouquet changes shape every day. Their real season runs from November to May.

Children: Can upset the stomach if eaten (the bulb is the worst part and is not sold with cut flowers), and the sap can cause a skin rash.

Pets: Can cause a mild upset in pets if eaten; the bulb is the most toxic part and is not sold with cut flowers.

How to care for it

Turn the vase daily: tulips grow up to about 2.5 cm and bend toward light.
If stems droop, wrap the bunch tightly in paper and stand it in cool water for an hour or two to straighten.
Don’t share water with freshly cut daffodils; their sap shortens tulip life.

Did you know? During the Dutch “Tulip Mania” of the 1630s, some single bulbs sold for fortunes.
