Black Hero

This fabulous tulip was planted in memory of our beautiful boy Zeus.  What a showstopper Black Hero is, it simply demands attention in the planting.  With the voluptuous appearance of a peony, this tulip holds its head in unusual positions amongst the surrounding foliage, taking the gardener by surprise and always eliciting a smile.
The deep crimson edging on the petals adds depth and is highlighted as the light reflects off the deep black centre.  Planted randomly amongst Queen of the Night, Blue Parrot & Allium Purple Sensation  the effect is stunning!
