Notes
'Silver Cloud' tulip (Tulipa 'Silver Cloud') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The cupped violet flowers show silvery lilac tones with hints of cream and pale pink. They open in early to late spring on strong stems. Let the foliage die back naturally after flowering.
Pairs well with Duchesse de Nemours peony, White Feather hosta, and Nodding onion.
