Notes

'Crater' tulip (Tulipa 'Crater') 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 carmine red flowers pass into vermilion at the edge and open from early to late spring on stems about 20 inches tall. Zocher & Co. bred it in 1928.

Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Mexican hat, and Singing In The Rain peony.
