Notes
'Orange Princess' tulip (Tulipa 'Orange Princess') 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 orange-red blooms open from early to late spring and have a sweet fragrance. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they work well in the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Yellow Cheerfulness daffodil, Fringed bleeding heart, and Spring Green tulip.
