Double Peony Tulip Black Hero

Double Peony Tulip Black Hero

Creating luxuriant, eye-catching garden displays does not have to be work. By including Black Hero Tulip in your next landscape design, you'll not only get a striking focal point, but also a carefree, easy plant that requires little to no maintenance to retain its stellar good looks. Fully double and nearly black in color, this deep, dark purple beauty more closely resembles a peony than a standard tulip. And with its sweet fragrance paired with its unique coloration, it makes an exquisite addition to cut flower bouquets and arrangements.
