Notes
'Parade' tulip (Tulipa 'Parade') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, 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. Its red flowers open from early to late spring. The plant grows 12 to 24 inches tall, so it fits well near the front or middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Big Smile tulip, Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, and Maxima Lutea imperial fritillary.
