Exhibiting dramatic, moody, maroon-black blooms with a plush, velvet gleam, ‘Paul Scherer’ is a tulip worth making room for. This mid-season variety will be a real talking-point in any garden, with its incredible, Gothic, ebony petals set off by grey-green foliage. Maximise the breath-taking effect of their pitch-black colouring by planting in dramatic swathes, or use them as bold punctuation marks dotted throughout contrasting colour schemes. The tall, sturdy stems make stylish cut flowers, adding an air of mystery to floral arrangements and bouquets. ‘Paul Scherer’ has earned the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit, proving itself to be both impressive and reliable.
