Notes

'Camargue' tulip (Tulipa 'Camargue') 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 bears light yellow blooms from early to late spring. The outer petals carry a blood red band along the midvein. The flowers stand about 26 inches tall, so they suit the middle of a bed.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Nodding onion, Fanal astilbe, and Little bluestem.
