Notes
'Purissima' tulip (Tulipa 'Purissima') 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. It blooms from early to late spring. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall, so it works well near the front or middle of a bed.
Pairs well with Thalia daffodil, Armenian grape hyacinth, Siberian bugloss, and Apricot Beauty tulip.
