Notes

'King Harold' tulip (Tulipa 'King Harold') 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 crimson maroon and open from early to late spring. E.H. Krelage & Son bred it, so it adds an old-fashioned look to a bed.

Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Blush peony, and Cat's Pajamas nepeta.
