Notes
'Blushing Apeldoorn' tulip (Tulipa 'Blushing Apeldoorn') 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. The yellow-orange blooms open from early to late spring. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they suit the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Wood forget-me-not, Armenian grape hyacinth, and Jack Frost Siberian bugloss.
