Notes
'Peppermint Stick' tulip (Tulipa 'Peppermint Stick') is a bulb for borders, containers, and naturalizing. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Its petals are alternating deep pink and white, so the blooms look a bit like a candy cane. It flowers from early to late spring and stays 8 to 12 inches tall. It does best in good drainage and will naturalize when happy.
Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Carlton daffodil, Alaska violet, and Ostrich fern.
