Notes

'Telescopium' tulip (Tulipa 'Telescopium') 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 from early to late spring, which adds color to the border. It stands about 22 inches tall, so plant it where it can rise above shorter neighbors. Zocher & Co. bred it.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Spiked speedwell, and Angel Cheeks peony.
