Tulip Rococo Plant

Tulip Rococo Plant Details

“Rococo” is a popular variety of Tulip that features red flowers with yellow and purple highlights on the “ruffled” petals. The large and showy blooms are borne on sturdy stems from mid-spring above the lush foliage. This perennial typically grows to 40 cm tall and 25 cm wide, performing best when positioned in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry, frost, cool climates, and will die back during these times to regrow when conditions start to warm. “Rococo” is commonly included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, used in border plantings, planted around the base of deciduous trees and shrubs, or maintained in a container. A mass planting is a must with this variety with plants spaced 15-20 cm apart.
