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.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: Apr-MayFlower colour: purple-blackOther features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil.

Pure gold classical flutes with attractive feathery lemon yellow to creamy-white margins top sturdy stems in April.
