This is a “Cardinal Red” tulip. I wanted to post this nice photo since there is a blue hyacinth in the picture to provide a contrasting blue color against the dominant red tulip. According to the tulip website flowering period is early in the season and the average plant height is about four inches. Landscape uses for the tulip is for flower beds, borders, rock gardens and for forcing in a bulb vase. We picked up both the hyacinth and the tulip when we visited the new Lowe’s store last week.
