Notes
'Carnaval de Rio' tulip (Tulipa 'Carnaval de Rio') 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 sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. White blooms open from early to late spring. The stems reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they suit the middle of a border.
Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Armenian grape hyacinth, and Couleur Cardinal tulip.
