Notes

'Chandelier' tulip (Tulipa 'Chandelier') 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 or part sun and average moisture. The double flowers are palest pink to white with raspberry red and green accents, and they sit on stems up to 16 inches tall. Feed it with bulb food as soon as it emerges in spring, and let the foliage die back naturally after bloom.

Pairs well with Angel Cheeks peony, Krossa Regal hosta, and Carlton daffodil.
