Notes

'Come-Back' tulip (Tulipa 'Come-Back') 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. The red blooms open from early to late spring and reach about 20 inches tall. The outer petals are blood red with a claret rose flame, and the inside has a black base edged in yellow. I.V.T. bred it.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Spiked speedwell, Singing In The Rain peony, and Nodding onion.
