Notes

'Pinocchio' tulip (Tulipa 'Pinocchio') is a bulb for borders, 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. It blooms from early to late spring. The flowers also work well in a pollinator garden, so plant the bulbs in groups for a bold show.

Pairs well with Jetfire daffodil, Armenian grape hyacinth, and Delft Blue common hyacinth.
