John Ruskin tulip

Garden uses

Notes

'John Ruskin' tulip (Tulipa 'John Ruskin') 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 flowers are pink and orange and open from early to late spring. Plant the bulbs in groups so the pink and orange blooms make a bolder show in the border. Barr & Sons bred it.

Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Spiked speedwell, and Dr. Alexander Fleming peony.
