Tulipa 'Black Hero' Bulb

Tulipa ‘Black Hero’ is a dramatic late spring tulip prized for its deep, velvety maroon-black double blooms that resemble richly layered peonies. The densely packed petals give the flower a luxurious fullness, and its dark, almost black colouring adds a bold and sophisticated presence to garden borders, containers, and floral arrangements. This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, with a preference for sheltered locations that protect its tall stems and heavy blooms from wind and rain. ‘Black Hero’ flowers in late spring, offering a moody and elegant contrast to lighter-toned tulips and other spring blooms. Like all tulips, it benefits from a dry summer dormancy and is best planted in autumn to establish strong roots. Ideal for gardeners seeking depth and drama in their spring planting schemes, ‘Black Hero’ delivers rich colour and lush form. Its striking appearance makes it a standout feature in formal plantings and cutting gardens alike.
