The Good: We ADORE the color of dyed Brownie Tulips! The veining looks incredible, and they are extremely eye-catching when reflexed.
The Bad: Because Brown Tulips are dyed, they do not have a very long vase life, you can expect to lose more than usual, and the greenery is typically always unusable. Tulips in general snap easily so handle them with care.
- Brownie Tulips need their own vase, as the dye turns the water red.
- Keep them well supported in a cylinder vase. They are prone to curving.
- Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water.
- Keep away from heat or sun to extend vase life.
- Remove leaves below the waterline.
- Tulips snap very easily, so gently peel away any bad greenery.

Brownie Tulips are a specialty item that must be ordered well in advance. Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point.
Acceptable Subs: Mauve Astrantia, Brown Lisianthus, Chocolate Queen Anne’s lace. There are not many flowers at all that look like a Brownie Tulip. We will need to base the substitute on your specific order.
