Tulipa Black Hero is an unusual dark-coloured tulip. This tulip is a double version of the Queen of Night and has dark purple flowers that look almost black. The large, elegant flowers are on tall, strong stems that make them stand out beautifully in the garden. These tulips grow about 60cm tall and combine nicely with other tulips. The bulbs can be planted in full soil or in a pot on the balcony. They also work well as cut flowers. Plant the bulbs between September and December and enjoy your beautiful tulips in May.
Care The best time to plant the bulbs is when trees start to lose their leaves. The soil will have cooled down sufficiently by then. The tulips can be planted at a depth of about 15-20 cm in loose soil. The bulbs should be planted 10 cm apart. Tulips like a spot in the sun or semi-shade. Planted in solid soil, tulips can withstand all weather conditions. If you plant them in a pot, it is best to place them in a cold shed during extreme frost.
Size Upon delivery, the bulbs have a circumference of about 11/12 cm.
