Darwin Hybrid Tulip Black Jack 10 Bulbs - 12/+ cm Bulbs

This gorgeous deep purple tulip appears almost black and blooms early in the spring. Use in mass plantings alone or combined with another color. Try it with the white and green Super Parrot tulip for a truly elegant display. Tulips were introduced into Europe from Turkey in 1554 and have figured prominently in floral history ever since. While the fabulous prices paid for a single bulb during Holland's famous 17th century "tulipmania" have never been equaled, there continues to be a strong commitment on the part of growers to create new kinds of hybrids of outstanding merit. Soft buttercup yellow. Prefers sun or part-sun.
