Notes
'China Pink' tulip (Tulipa 'China Pink') 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. It blooms from early to late spring. The flowers grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they make a good cut flower for indoor vases.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Geranium daffodil, Spring Green tulip, and Burgundy tulip.
