Notes
'Akebono' tulip (Tulipa 'Akebono') 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 or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It bears light yellow blooms in early to late spring. The flowers stand 12 to 24 inches tall, so they work well in cut arrangements.
Pairs well with Wood forget-me-not, Fringed bleeding heart, and White Triumphator tulip.
