Notes

'Red Impression' tulip (Tulipa 'Red Impression') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, 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. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they work well in the middle of a bed.

Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Bell Song daffodil, Carnegie common hyacinth, and Snake's head.
