Notes

'Indian Chief' tulip (Tulipa 'Indian Chief') 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 reddish mahogany blooms open from early to late spring. It grows about 26 inches tall, so it works well in the middle of a bed.

Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Cat's Pajamas nepeta, and Bowl of Beauty peony.
