Water: Tulips 'Flaming Purissima' requires minimal watering, typically just once after planting. During flowering, occasional watering is needed to keep soil moist. Post-flowering, maintain moisture until leaves wither. Small pots may need more frequent watering, while garden plants rely on rain unless conditions are very dry.

Pruning: Tulips 'Flaming Purissima' showcases vibrant blooms with minimal pruning needs. Trim dead foliage in early spring and remove spent flowers post-bloom.
