Notes
'Negrita Double' tulip (Tulipa 'Negrita Double') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. The dark violet double blooms open from early to late spring. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they fit well in the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Armenian grape hyacinth, Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, and Ice Follies daffodil.
