Tulips Meaning: What Does Each Tulip Color Symbolize?

Overall, tulips are associated with happiness, positivity and springtime. Each color represents a different meaning.

• Yellow Tulips: Typically stand for cheer, hope, and friendship.
• White Tulips: Most often used for apologies.
• Pink Tulips: Express confidence and happiness.
• Purple Tulips: Represent loyalty and can also express admiration.

Different Types of Tulips

Single Tulips are the most common type of tulips. They are a unique cup-shape with each one having six petals. Tulip blooms can either be considered "early" or "late." The early blooms range from 10-18 inches in size, while late blooms are significantly larger, measuring 18-39 inches. Some popular types of single tulips include the Virichic, Blushing Beauty and Red Emperor. Double Tulips are also known as Peony Tulips because of their elegant shape. Their average size is 12-16 inches. Some popular double tulips include the Angelique, Lady Montgomery, Margarita and Monsella. Our Margarita and Monsella tulips will be available for a limited time as a part of our Now Blooming program from March 15th to April 30^th, 2017 while supplies last!

How to Take Care of Tulips

Tulips should be handled gently at all times. If your tulips arrive in a box, take your bouquet (still in its plastic sleeve) and trim the ends by taking one inch off the bottom of the stems. Remove the plastic sleeve and then place the tulips into a vase that is filled with fresh, cool water. Add floral food as the package directs to. They should be kept in a cool location that is away from direct sunlight. For more tips on how to handle your beautiful tulips, visit our Tulip Care & Handling page.
