Notes

'Roeska' tulip (Tulipa 'Roeska') 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 violet blooms open in early to late spring on stems about 16 inches tall. The flowers last well in a vase, so you can cut a few for indoors. Marax Tulips VOF bred it.

Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Karl Rosenfield peony, and Fire and Ice hosta.
