Notes
'Scarlet Cardinal' tulip (Tulipa 'Scarlet Cardinal') 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. It blooms in early to late spring. It stays about 10 inches tall, so it fits neatly at the front of a border. J. de Ruyter bred it.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Raspberry Sundae peony, and Ernest Markham clematis.
