Notes
'Alba Coerulea Oculata' botanical tulip (Tulipa humilis 'Alba Coerulea Oculata') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It bears white flowers in early to late spring. The plants stay small at 4 to 8 inches tall and wide, so they fit well in tight spots.
Pairs well with Siberian squill, Greek thimbleweed, and Spiderwort.
