Notes

'Bright Sun' tulip (Tulipa 'Bright Sun') 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 open signal red inside with a canary yellow base and carmine rose outside edged in orange. They bloom from early to late spring, and Gebr. Eggink bred it.

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