    Customer photo review of Tulip Bulbs - Black Hero

    These tulips were so exquisite and gorgeous! All 10 bulbs sprouted in a large planter, and the tall blooms were showy for over 3 weeks. So pleased with this purchase.

    Tulip Bulbs - Black Hero

    As a goth gardener I am always on the hunt for beautiful black flowering plants to add to my collection. These are the most beautiful tulips I've ever seen, and I'm not really a huge fan of them typically. The double blooms are so full and gorgeous they almost look like peonies. So happy I planted these, and I believe every single one bloomed same year!
