'Purple Rain' tulip (Tulipa 'Purple Rain') 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. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they suit the middle of a bed or a large pot.
