Notes

'Ambrosia' tulip (Tulipa 'Ambrosia') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. The flowers are fawn, shaded with rosy lilac, and open from early to late spring. E.H. Krelage & Son bred it, and you can cut the blooms for bouquets.

Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Angel Cheeks peony, Fanal astilbe, and Indian grass.
