Notes

'Orange Balloon' tulip (Tulipa 'Orange Balloon') 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 orange-red blooms open from early to late spring. Plants stand about 20 inches tall, so they bring strong color to the back of a bed.

Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Claire de Lune peony, and Indian grass.
