Notes

'Leen Van Der Mark' tulip (Tulipa 'Leen Van Der Mark') 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. Dark purple-red blooms open from early to late spring. The plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so they fit well at the front or middle of a bed.

Pairs well with Ballade tulip, Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Bridal Crown daffodil, and Armenian grape hyacinth.
