Notes
'Exotic Emperor' tulip (Tulipa 'Exotic Emperor') 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 in early to late spring. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they work well in the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Checkered lily, Fringed bleeding heart, and Siberian squill.
