How to recognise it

Smooth closed cup-shaped bud at the top of a thick round stem
Broad grey-green strap-shaped leaves wrapping the lower stem
Stem keeps growing and bending toward light even after cutting
Petals smooth-edged and waxy, no scent or very faint
White or pale cream colouring (cultivar-dependent)

Care

Recut stems at an angle and place in shallow cool water, as tulips drink fast and stems can rot in deep water. Keep away from direct heat and strong light, which speed up stem stretching and opening. Tulips are not very ethylene-sensitive but should be kept away from daffodils unless conditioned separately, as daffodil sap can shorten their vase life. Remove any slimy or yellowing lower leaves and change water every 1–2 days.
