Notes
'Erna Lindgreen' tulip (Tulipa 'Erna Lindgreen') 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. Purple flowers open from early to late spring. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they fit well in pots and at the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Queen of Night tulip, Greig's tulip, and Love-in-a-mist.
