Bring some unique and interesting color to your spring garden with Black Hero tulips. These medium sized tulips are actually a rich purple/plum color. The Black Hero is a double tulip, meaning it has double the petals, and when they're "black", it's extra cool! They are late spring bloomers, and like every good show, they're saving the best for last. Plant Black Hero tulips alongside yellow and pink tulips or other plants for a dramatic showcase of color.
