Notes
'Moondance' tulip (Tulipa praestans 'Moondance') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The orange flowers have a red flush at the center, and each bulb sends up 3 to 5 blooms in early to late spring. It will naturalize when happy, so give it good drainage. C. Ruyter bred it.
Pairs well with Snowdrop, Bowl of Cream peony, and Blue sage.
