Description

Tulip 'Black Hero' is a dramatic double tulip with deep dark purple petals that in certain light can appear almost black.

The dense, velvety blooms resemble peonies in shape and create an elegant contrast in spring plantings.

This variety thrives best in sun to light shade in well drained soil and flowers during the later part of the tulip season.

It is well suited to borders and containers and is also highly appreciated as a cut flower thanks to its large blooms and sturdy stems.

It is especially beautiful when planted together with white daffodils and the snake's head fritillary 'Purple Favorite', where the dark tones create a striking contrast against the white flowers.

Care and cultivation advice

You can plant your tulip bulbs from September until a week before the ground freezes. The bulbs are best planted as soon as you receive them, but if you're unable to do so, it is recommended to store them in a cool, dark, and dry place. Tulip bulbs thrive in well-drained soil. It's perfectly fine to plant tulip bulbs in a pot, but make sure to use a frost-resistant pot with drainage holes. To prevent the bulbs from freezing during winter, place the pot in a sheltered location and cover it with insulating material.

For a tulip bulb to start sprouting, it requires a continuous period of cold temperatures (below 9 degrees Celsius), which is why we plant them in autumn. When spring arrives and the soil warms up, the tulips will start emerging. Most varieties bloom beautifully in April to May.
