Notes
'Couleur Cardinal' tulip (Tulipa 'Couleur Cardinal') 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 bears red blooms in early to late spring. The stems reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they work well in a vase.
Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, White Triumphator tulip, Album grape hyacinth, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
