Notes
'Little Princess' tulip (Tulipa 'Little Princess') is a bulb for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows only about 4 inches tall and bears fragrant red flowers in early to late spring. It also tolerates drought, so it needs little care once settled.
Pairs well with Grape hyacinth, Autumn crocus, and Blue fescue.
