Tulip Season Starts: The Dutch Favorite in the Spotlight | Florimo
Tulip Season Starts: The Dutch Favorite in the Spotlight!
The days are getting longer, winter is slowly retreating, and the first signs of spring are appearing. What better symbol for this fresh start than the tulip? At Florimo, we celebrate the start of the Dutch tulip season with great enthusiasm, because for us, the tulip marks the beginning of a period full of color and joy!
The tulip, once so rare that people traded houses for them, has grown into one of the most beloved seasonal flowers in the world. And rightly so! This versatile flower immediately brings atmosphere and a smile to every home.
The Tulip: More Than Just a Flower
What makes the tulip so special? It’s not just its vibrant color and iconic shape. The tulip has a unique charm:
-
A mind of its own: Tulips continue to grow even after you put them in a vase. They turn toward the light, creating a constantly changing display.
-
Endless variety: From the classic single tulip to the graceful parrot tulip, the double peony-style tulip, or the fringed tulip – the diversity is endless. Every week of the season brings new, surprising varieties!
-
Cheerful colors: From deep red and bright yellow to soft pink, purple, and even almost black. There is a tulip for every taste and every mood.
Florimo’s Favorite Flower Trends with Tulips
-
Monobouquet: One color, big impact: A full bunch of tulips in a single color (like radiant white, deep red, or fresh yellow) makes a powerful statement. Perfect for a minimalist lifestyle or as an elegant flower gift.
-
Wildflower Style: Combine tulips with other light spring greens like eucalyptus, ranunculus, or anemones. This creates a loose, natural look as if the flowers were just picked from a spring meadow.
-
The "Dancing" Tulip: Place tulips in a wide, low vase with just a small amount of water. They will gracefully droop and 'dance', providing a lively and playful effect.
Care Tips for Your Fresh Flowers
To get the most out of your Florimo tulips, follow these simple tips:
-
Trimming: Cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife (about 2-3 cm).
-
Clean Water: Place the tulips immediately in a clean vase with fresh, cold water and flower food (provided by Florimo!).
-
Low Water Level: Tulips drink a lot, but they don't like to be submerged too deep. Fill the vase with about 5-10 cm of water; this helps the stems stay firm.
-
Avoid Direct Sun: Do not place the vase in direct sunlight or near a heat source, as this speeds up the blooming process.
-
The Pin Trick: Pricking a tiny hole with a pin just below the flower head can help prevent tulips from growing too tall too quickly.
