Notes

'Livingstone' tulip (Tulipa 'Livingstone') 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 brings color when the garden is just waking up. The flowers stand about 18 inches tall, which makes them a good fit for the middle of a border. Zocher & Co. bred it.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Fanal astilbe, and Little bluestem.
