Notes
'Christmas Dream' tulip (Tulipa 'Christmas Dream') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in early to late spring with fragrant purple-red flowers. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they fit well at the front or middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Pink Pearl common hyacinth, Armenian grape hyacinth, and Cragford daffodil.
