Notes
'Lilac Wonder' candia tulip (Tulipa saxatilis 'Lilac Wonder') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance 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. It blooms in early to late spring. It also tolerates drought, so it suits a dry sunny spot.
Pairs well with Hawera daffodil, Valerie Finnis Armenian grape hyacinth, Mariette tulip, and Blue Shades Greek thimbleweed.
