Notes
'Professor Rontgen' tulip (Tulipa 'Professor Rontgen') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. 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 in light yellow-orange from early to late spring. The flowers reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they make good cut stems for a vase.
Pairs well with Rococo tulip, Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, and Queen of Night tulip.
