Tulips typically bloom for about 1 to 3 weeks in the garden, depending on the variety and weather conditions. Early-blooming tulips usually last about one week or slightly more, mid-season bloomers can last around two weeks, and late bloomers may last 2 to 3 weeks, though their petals can be more delicate and susceptible to weather damage
. The bloom duration is influenced by factors such as temperature (cooler springs prolong bloom), sunlight, soil quality, and care like watering and fertilization
. Planting a mix of early, mid-season, and late-blooming varieties can extend the overall tulip display in a garden to up to six weeks or more
. As cut flowers, tulips generally last about 5 to 7 days with proper care, such as keeping them in fresh water away from direct sunlight and heat
