Notes

'Red Earth' tulip (Tulipa 'Red Earth') 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. Its dark purple-red blooms open from early to late spring. The flowers stand about 22 inches tall, so they work well in cut flower arrangements. Vriend Flowerbulbs B.V. bred it.

Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Red Charm peony, and Lanceleaf coreopsis.
