A Flamboyant Spring Border idea with Tulip' Ballerina' & Tulip 'Orange Princess'
Spring Borders, Bulb Combinations, Perennial Combinations
Two orange-superstars with very different personas make quite the duo in the late season garden. Tulip 'Ballerina' is tall, willowy and elegant with long stems and slim elongated marigold-orange blossoms. At half the height, peony-flowered 'Orange Princess' fills in below with a plump colorful presence.
