Care Tips | Leave planting your tulips until the cold weather has set in, as this will help wipe out viral and fungal diseases. Deadhead the wallflowers regularly to prolong flowering. |
Flowering | April - May |
Vase Life | Tulips make supreme cut flowers. Strip the bottom leaves, tie the stems in paper and allow to drink with the stems held vertical for 8 hours. This helps keep the stems straight. With wallflowers, they last up to 10 days in clean water and even last in a hot room which will bring out their scent. Sear their stem ends in boiling water for 20 seconds. |
