2 Months of Black Tulips Collection

We offer you a Collection of 22 black Tulip bulbs with flowering periods spread over 4 to 6 weeks, between early April and late May. All different, single or double, they offer a dark and refined spectacle. In borders or in bouquets, pair them with bright and luminous flowers for contrast.

The collection consists of:

6 bulbs of early double Tulip 'Palmyra': this variety reaches about 40 cm in height. Its double flowers, of an intense purple, almost black, appear from early spring. It is the earliest of the three, flowering towards the end of March or early April.

6 bulbs of Parrot Tulip 'Black Parrot': this spectacular tulip can reach 55 cm in height. Its fringed and tousled petals are adorned with a deep black, slightly tinged with purple highlights. Its flowering can last 2 weeks, in April-May.

10 bulbs of Triumph Tulip 'Black Jack': this robust and elegant tulip measures about 50 cm in height. It stands out for its velvety black flowers with a slight burgundy reflection. Its late flowering extends the pleasure into May.

Bulbs packed and labelled separately.

Plant these tulips in autumn, between September and November, for a spectacular flowering in the following spring. They thrive in borders, edging or pots. For a harmonious composition, place the Parrot Tulips 'Black Parrot' at the back of the border due to their height, the Triumph Tulips 'Black Jack' in the centre, and the early double Tulips 'Palmyra' at the front. Plant the bulbs 15 cm deep and respect a spacing of 10 to 15 cm between each one. Plant them in small groups of 10, scattered among other tulips or perennials. A minimum of 20 bulbs per m² creates an impressive mass effect.

To enhance your Black Tulip Collection, associate it with perennials with bright and luminous flowers that will beautifully contrast with their dark hues. Plant white Forget-me-nots 'Snowsylva' (5 plants per m²), which will form a delicate carpet at the base of the tulips. Add Daffodils 'Thalia' (10 bulbs per m²) whose white flowers will perfectly blend with the purple and black of the tulips. Finally, place a few stems of Phlox paniculata 'David' (3 plants per m²), with clusters of scented white flowers, in the background to add verticality to your composition. The black flowers of these tulips also pair well with those of pink tulips, especially 'Ollioules' and 'Finola'.
