Notes

'Zwanenburg' tulip (Tulipa 'Zwanenburg') 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 sun and average moisture. Pure white flowers open in early to late spring on stems about 20 inches tall. The anthers are black, which makes a sharp contrast with the petals. C.G. van Tubergen bred it.

Pairs well with Ice Follies daffodil, Cat's Pajamas nepeta, and Karl Rosenfield peony.
