Notes
'Tubergens Gem' lady tulip (Tulipa clusiana 'Tubergens Gem') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows as a clump about 10 inches tall. Dark pink-red flowers open from early to late spring. The bulbs tolerate drought, so this is a low maintenance choice.
Pairs well with Lady Jane lady tulip, Botanical tulip, Valerie Finnis Armenian grape hyacinth, and Siberian squill.
