Notes

'Memphis' tulip (Tulipa 'Memphis') 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 blue-pink blooms open from early to late spring and reach about 20 inches tall. J.W.M. van Haaster bred it, and the flowers last well in a vase.

Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Little bluestem, and Singing In The Rain peony.
