The enchanting collection of peony tulips creates a mesmerizing display with its mix of deep maroon, near-black plum-purple, and vibrant red blossoms. Whether adorning a cut flower vase or gracing a spring flower border, these striking tulips promise to captivate with their rich and alluring hues.
In each collection you will receive the following:
- 10 × Tulipa 'Antraciet': Huge double flowers with loads of petals that make this tulip look more like a peony. Before they open, the buds are a very dark red, but once the flower emerges it turns a more purplish-red colour. This tulip, with its super-sized flowers, really packs a punch. Grows to 40cm.
- 7 × Tulipa 'Black Hero': A stunning double-flowered tulip with deep maroon-black blooms with a satin sheen. This has been bred from the highly acclaimed tulip 'Queen of Night' and has the same distinctive midnight black flowers, but with many more petals. Plant it somewhere prominent so you can really enjoy the flowers when they appear in May. In the photos we have paired it with Allium 'Silver Spring'. Grows to 60cm.
- 10 × Tulipa 'Uncle Tom': Is the colour of 'Uncle Tom' mahogany, or maroon? Either way, this magnificent and fragrant peony-flowered tulip with sumptuous, plum-purple overtones is a stunner for late spring gardens or as a cut flower. Mix with rich golds and orange shades, or tuck it in with pale pinks for a dazzling display. Grows to 45cm.
From August to November plant the bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. While actively growing, keep them moderately well watered and remove the flowers after they have faded. At that stage a balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied each week for 4 weeks before they die down.
