About This Plant
Tulip humilis 'Violacea' (Tulip), 'Violacea', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Tulips , classic spring-blooming bulbs with cup-shaped flowers in nearly every color. Plant bulbs in fall.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 8. Many tulips perform as short-lived perennials in PNW; replant every 2 to 3 years for best display.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
