Orange Princess Double Late Tulip

(12-14″ tall) ‘Orange Princess’ Double Late Tulip
received the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticulture Society not just
once, but twice! Plant in swaths among dark purple or maroon single late tulips
for a dramatic combination, or pair with warm peachy colors for a harmonious
palette. All those petals need a bit of protection from extreme weather, so
plant in a location sheltered from strong winds and rain. Try tucking bulbs
into containers that you can set near the doorway to enjoy the bright, lush
blooms. ‘Orange Princess’ is hardy in zones 3 through 8. Late double tulips
perform best in cool locations with a late spring. Plant in well-draining soil
in full to partial sun.
