Notes

'Mabel' tulip (Tulipa 'Mabel') 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 open in early to late spring and show deep rose color on a white ground. Cut the stems for bouquets to bring the color indoors. Martin introduced it.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Immortality iris, and Little bluestem.
