3 Ways to Display Tulips
April 13, 2019
Bunching Tulips in a Leaf-Wrapped Vase
- Using a standard mid size glass vase, line the inside with banana leaves folding each leave over the rim of the vase
- Trim stems of tulips on a slant to fit, creating two bunches.
- Tip: cutting tulips on a slant allows tulips to absorb the water better.
Cascade of Parrots
- Purchase parrot tulips — these are different because of their feather-like petals.
- Bunch your tulips in your hand, measuring how far you want them to cascade over your low round vase. Keep in mind the tulips will naturally drop a bit themselves.
- Trim your tulips to size and wrap in twin for added security
Tulip Flutes
- Use tall flute vases for this arrangement. This is important because the height actually holds the tulips in place.
- Pour approx. 2 cups of water into each vase.
- Measure each tulip by eye by placing them next to the flutes. You want them to land in a tiered height after trimming.
- Trim accordingly to different heights.
- Strategically place three simple tulips in the flutes. Start with the shortest one to highest.
