'Early Glory' tulip (Tulipa 'Early Glory') is a bulb for borders, 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. Blue-pink flowers open from early to late spring on stems 12 to 24 inches tall. The blooms are fragrant, so plant a few near a path or patio.
