Notes
'Abba' tulip (Tulipa 'Abba') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms from early to late spring. The flowers are fragrant, so you can plant it near a path or cut a few for a vase. It grows about 12 inches tall.
