Opulent layers of midnight maroon petals glisten in the sunlight. In lower light and shadows, Tulip Black Hero dons its cape and appears almost black. The dramatic elegance of this Double Late Tulip will coordinate beautifully with pink, white, and citrus green flowers. Tulip Black Hero is a sport of the stunning heirloom single late-blooming Tulip, circa 1940, Queen of the Night.

Tulip General Information

Double Late Tulips have extremely large blooms that resemble peonies. Their blossoms can be up to 4" across when fully opened. Ideal choice for rock gardens, beds, borders, and indoor forcing.

Tulip Plant Care

Plant in well drained soil at least 6" deep and 6" apart. Foliage should not be removed until withered as energy is being stored for the next growing season. Stems can be cut back to maintain appearances if desired. Interested in forcing bulbs? Visit our Useful Links page.
