We’re ready for tulip season with our favourite tulips, from perennial parrot tulips, more for your money double tulips, to the genetically modified, elegant french tulip.
Tulips often symbolise abundance and indulgence and were popularized by the Ottoman Empire, which at its height, was referred to as the Tulip Era of the Ottoman Empire.
At Floom, you can find a variety of tulips from our independent florists from single-stem offerings to luxury bouquets with complimenting roses and anemones.
We only work with the most talented and unique artisans, and we’re passionate about supporting our skilled family of florists.
Each of our orders is professionally arranged, wrapped and safely delivered with a hand-written card… on the exact day that you need it.
Bursting with saturated colour in a way that few other European plants could match, they actually went on to inspire ‘Tulip Mania’ - a period in which the demand for bulbs reached such extraordinarily high levels that, during its peak of 1637, some tulip bulbs sold for more than ten times the annual income of a skilled craftsman. Eat your hearts out, Beatles Mania.
They’re actually known as ‘parrot’ tulips not simply for the vibrancy of their plumage but because of the frilly edges they possess. Those frilly waves along the fringes are what truly set them apart for the tulip connoisseur, and are said to resemble the ruffled feathers of a parrot.
How long do tulips last?
Tulips can last anywhere between five days to two weeks with the proper flower care. Tulips like a lot of water, and require more water than other stems so make sure to top up your water every day. Make sure to trim the bottom of their stems every few days by cutting 1cm off of the tulip stems at an angle. You can tell when tulips need to be pruned from the stem when the bottom of the stem starts to have black spots.
How long can cut tulips stay out of water?
Tulips need water more than other stems, they should be placed in water as soon as you receive them to ensure longevity.
How do you keep tulips from drooping?
Making sure your tulips are properly cared for by changing their water daily, and trimming the bottoms of the tulip stems help stop tulips from drooping. Putting tulips in a long vase will also help keep tulips upright.
What is the most popular tulip colour?
The colour of the tulip stems depends on what the occasion is, and what other stems are within the bouquet. A tulip and rose bouquet may use pink or red tulips, particularly if it is a romantic bouquet, to compliment red or pink roses. Yellow tulips often represent friendship, whilst purple tulips symbolize success and royalty.
Very pretty and my girlfriend loves it. Only problem is they don’t call when they deliver.
Really lovely flowers - super prompt and easy delivery
My only critiques are the flowers received were different than those in the photo . I was trying to avoid roses as they die quickly but the bouquet was mostly roses it seemed. Also ask zip code first please so you only see what’s actually available in that area. Otherwise I’ve been very pleased ! Thank you ….
Beautiful flowers delivered, small issue with communications but flowers arrived on the day
Floom’s flowers were actually more beautiful in person! I would highly recommend :)
I have both received and sent flowers with Floom and had wonderful experiences both times! I love the unique arrangements from the array of florists they work with. It is a nice change of pace from the same bouquets at all the other usual suspects, and I really like to find new local shops to support.
Everything was absolutely perfect — the bouquet looked even more beautiful in real life than in the picture
The flowers I ordered for my aunt’s 75th birthday were arranged so beautifully!! I was a little surprised of the color - I thought it’s going to be white roses as in the picture. The roses were soft lilac color, but they are lovely, nonetheless! Thank you!
