Notes
'Fortress' tulip (Tulipa 'Fortress') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It bears purple blooms from early to late spring on stems about 26 inches tall. The tall stems make it a good pick for cutting and bringing indoors.
Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Angel Cheeks peony.
