Notes

'Persian Pearl' botanical tulip (Tulipa humilis 'Persian Pearl') 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 from early to late spring. It also tolerates drought, so it suits dry spots in the garden.

Pairs well with Siberian squill, Thalia daffodil, and Pincushion flower.
