Notes

'Arizona' tulip (Tulipa 'Arizona') 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. It blooms from early to late spring. The flowers are buttercup yellow, tinged red, with a yellow base. Plants reach about 26 inches tall, so they cut well for a vase.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Shirley Temple peony, and Switchgrass.
