Notes

'Prairie Fire' tulip (Tulipa 'Prairie Fire') 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 dark pink-red blooms open from early to late spring. Plants stand about 12 inches tall, so they suit the front of a bed.

Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Singing In The Rain peony, and Switchgrass.
