Notes

'Fulton' tulip (Tulipa 'Fulton') 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. The flowers are purple with bronze edges, which adds rich color to a spring bed. They bloom from early to late spring and grow about 28 inches tall. Plant a few bulbs together in a group, and you can cut stems for a vase.

Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Picture peony, and Ernest Markham clematis.
