Features

notes

With peony like flowers in a dark purple hue, Tulip Black Hero adds a dramatic flourish to the border. Bred from the highly acclaimed Tulip Queen of Night, this tulip shares the same glossy midnight-coloured petals but as a double bloom, its extra petals add impact, and have the benefit of being slightly fragrant.

Insights

In a contemporary setting, this tulip adds elegance and sophistication, but it works equally well in a cottage garden by acting as a foil for other plants and looks striking when framing a pathway or planted in pots.
