Notes
Botanical tulip (Tulipa polychroma) is a bulb for rock gardens, borders, and naturalizing. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The pure white flowers have yellow centers, and each stem carries several blooms in early to late spring. It grows best in good drainage, and it will naturalize when happy.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Snowdrop, Blush peony, and Sedge.
