Celebrating SPRING with Bulb Arrangements

Celebrate Spring with bulb arrangements!

Ranunculus, Hyacinth, Daffodils, Anemones and Tulips

Here are a few tips on how to make super simple, spring bulb flower arrangements:

Hyacinth

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR BLOOMS

Here's what to look for when selecting the freshest blooms:

• Tulips: Make sure tulip petals aren't too open, and the foliage is nice and green. Tulip leaves are light green, but should not be yellow. When making your arrangement strip away the unwanted floppy leaves before putting the tulips in water.
• Ranunculus: Ranuncula petals have ruffled edges, even when they're super fresh. Just make sure their petals don't look papery and that the center is closed with more petals to open.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR VASE

• Most bulb flowers have beautiful, sleek green stems that look great in clear glass vases. Showcasing the stems enhances the beauty of the overall arrangement.  
• When arranging daffodils, hyacinth and narcissus, use vases with straight edges and subtle curves; this will make make it easier to arrange their soft straight stems. 

Tulips

HOW TO ARRANGE YOUR BULB FLOWERS

• Bulb flowers are gorgeous when mixed with other variations. That being said, you'll NEVER go wrong with an arrangement composed of one kind of flower in a monochromatic color (as pictured). 
• As always, cut your stems at an angle immediately before submerging them in water.
• For a decorative accent, submerge glass pebbles or river rocks at the bottom of the vase. 

Anemones

CARE AND LONGEVITY OF YOUR BULB ARRANGEMENTS

• Remember to add water to your arrangement daily. Some bulb stems, especially hyacinth, can soften quickly and turn the water murky (and stinky!). This can be avoided by flushing the water every couple of days.
• Narcissus and daffodils typically last three to four days.
• Anemones last five to seven days.
• Hyacinth lasts five to seven days.

Enjoy the bulb season!
