Notes

'Ice Cream' tulip (Tulipa 'Ice Cream') is a bulb for spring beds, borders, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The double blooms have a dense center of pure white petals surrounded by pink and green. They open in early to late spring. Plant the bulbs where other plants will not shade them, feed with bulb food as soon as shoots emerge, and let the foliage die back naturally after flowering.

Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Coral Charm peony, and Alaska violet.
