About This Plant

Tulipa tarda (Tulip), 'Tulip', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.

Tulips (Tulipa) , species and hybrid tulips. Plant bulbs in fall.

Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 8. Species tulips (T. clusiana, T. tarda) often perennialize better than hybrid garden tulips.

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.
