Notes
'Sorbet' tulip (Tulipa 'Sorbet') 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 bears white blooms in early to late spring. The stems reach 24 to 36 inches tall, so the flowers work well in a vase.
Pairs well with Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, Attila tulip, and Bridal Bouquet peony.
