Notes

'Purple Dream' tulip (Tulipa 'Purple Dream') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, 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 in early to late spring. The stems reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so it works well in the middle of a bed.

Pairs well with Purple Rain tulip, Imperial fritillary, Ballerina tulip, and Dordogne tulip.
