Fact About Cut Tulips and Daffodils

Using Cut Tulips and Daffodils

In your flower arrangements, avoid mixing cut tulips with daffodils - at least right away - because daffodils produce a chemical "slime" that injures tulip flowers.

If you want to use these two flowers together in an arrangement here is what you do:

1. Put the cut daffodils in another container of water for a day after cutting

2. Then rinse off the stems

3. Then add them to the vase of tulips

You can also add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of activated charcoal or 6 drops of bleach to each quart of water to avoid this problem.

By following the above facts, it really is the best way to care for cut tulips and daffodils.
