Product description
Tulip Negrita Double is an intensely rich, luxurious variety that produces layers upon layers of velvety, deep beetroot-purple petals. It mimics the appearance of a dark, heavy peony, bringing a sense of drama, depth, and opulence to the mid-spring garden that lighter colours simply cannot achieve.
Plant these bulbs roughly 15 cm deep in November, ensuring the soil is amended with grit if you are dealing with heavy clay. Because the densely packed flower heads are incredibly heavy, they are best cared for by planting them in pots or highly sheltered borders where wind and rain won't knock them flat.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 11-12.
