Notes
'Rococo' tulip (Tulipa 'Rococo') 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 or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Red flowers open from early to late spring. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they suit the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Excelsior Spanish bluebell, Spring Green tulip, Black Parrot tulip, and Black Beauty peony.
