Notes

'Charles Needham' tulip (Tulipa 'Charles Needham') 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 blooms in early to late spring and grows about 24 inches tall. C.G. van Tubergen bred it, and the tall stems work well in bouquets.

Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Karl Rosenfield peony, and Cat's Pajamas nepeta.
