Notes
'Fire Queen' tulip (Tulipa 'Fire Queen') 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 orange-red from early to late spring. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they fit well in a mixed bed.
Pairs well with Prinses Irene tulip, Valerie Finnis Armenian grape hyacinth, and Jack Frost Siberian bugloss.
