Black Hero Double Peony Tulip Information
About The Black Hero Double Peony Tulip
Nearly Black, Fully Double Blooms That Look More Like Peonies Than Tulips
Black Hero opens deep, dark purple flowers so densely petaled they read as peonies from across the yard. Add a sweet fragrance and 22-24 inch stems, and you have a mid to late spring focal point that stops traffic without asking much of you.
Plant the bulbs in fall in sun to part shade, and they handle the rest. They're just as at home in a large patio container or a cutting bed as they are massed along a walkway, and the dark color pairs beautifully with white, pink, or chartreuse companions.
Why You'll Love the Black Hero Double Peony Tulip
- Rare near-black color that turns an ordinary spring border into a real focal point.
- Fully double, peony-style flowers with a sweet fragrance you can actually smell up close.
- Long 22-24 inch stems that make excellent cut flowers for spring bouquets.
- Carefree by nature - deadhead spent blooms, leave the stems, and let the foliage die back on its own.
- Container friendly, so small-space gardeners and patio pots get the same show.
Ten 12 cm bulbs per pack - plant them in fall and let spring do the rest.
