Overview

This curated trio in moody, mystical tones will create an eye-catching display in borders or arrangements. 'Queen of Night' promises velvety maroon blooms so deep they're nearly black, earning their reputation as a top dark variety. 'Purple Flag' unfurls with plum-coloured flowers on robust stems. Then for added drama, 'Black Parrot' produces exhilarating fringed blooms in a gothic purple.

Specifications

  • Position: Full sun
  • Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
  • Flowering period: March to May
  • Hardiness: Fully hardy

Care guide

From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.

Features

  • 20 × Tulipa 'Queen of Night': These are probably the best loved of the deep purple tulips. Their velvety, dark maroon, single, cup-shaped flowers on straight stems in May are stunning, so they do deserve their acclaim. The almost-black tulips work well in a 'bruised' coloured border, planted between other plum-coloured flowers and foliage plants. Grows to 60cm.
  • 20 × Tulipa 'Purple Flag':A stunning tulip, that will add strength to planting schemes containing shades of plum, lilac and blue. It also associates well with plants that have silvery-coloured foliage. Stout and robust, it stands up well in poor weather conditions and the flowers are excellent for cutting. Grows to 45cm..
  • 10 × Tulipa 'Black Parrot':Dramatic, blackish-purple, cup-shaped flowers with irregularly cut wavy petals in May and strap-like, grey-green leaves. These spectacular black parrot tulips, one of the darkest varieties currently available, make excellent cut flowers. To prevent the exotic flowers from flopping theyre best planted close together in a sunny, sheltered, well-drained spot. Grows to 55cm..
