Notes
'Leica' tulip (Tulipa 'Leica') 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. It blooms from early to late spring, so it gives you a long season of color. You can cut the stems to bring the flowers indoors. P. Bakker Mz. bred it.
Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Little bluestem, and Dr. Alexander Fleming peony.
