Notes
'Don Quichotte' tulip (Tulipa 'Don Quichotte') 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. The purple-red blooms open from early to late spring. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they work well in the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, White Dream tulip, and Karl Rosenfield peony.
