Notes

'Glacier' tulip (Tulipa 'Glacier') 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. Its white blooms open in early to late spring on stems about 26 inches tall. Cut a few stems for a vase, and plant a group for a bold show in the border. J.J. Grullemans & Sons bred it.

Pairs well with Bridal Crown daffodil, Blush peony, and Ernest Markham clematis.
