Layer upon velvety layer of plum and berry-toned petals make up the sumptuous, large flowerheads of paeony-tulip ‘Black Hero’.

More akin to an open garden rose or paeony, the opulent blooms are eye-catching in the late spring garden and look fabulous when teamed with vibrant orange or rust hues and pretty, soft pinks.

Fill your pots with the large bulbs and plant closely together for a luxurious display next April. 

Long-lasting, both in the garden and in the vase with long, strong stems, tulip ‘Black Hero’ is perfect as an unusual cut flower.
