Notes
Botanical tulip (Tulipa aucheriana) is a bulb with pink flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The flowers bloom on short stems from early to late spring and open wide on warm sunny days to show yellow centers. Twisted bluish green leaves add interest. Give it good drainage and it will naturalize when happy.
Pairs well with Snowdrop, Dalmatian bellflower, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
