Description:
Tulipa 'Black Hero' is a double late peony type tulip blooming late in the season with cupped double flowers in luscious burgundy-black. Combine with lighter colours such as light pink or white to really show off these blooms. Hybrid tulips can persist in the garden for many years. Afterall, they rebloom each year in the fields of the Netherlands. Provide full sun where bulbs aren't shaded by other plants, fertilize with bulb food as soon as they emerge in spring, and allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering.
