You receive 15 dry bulbs in a bag, ready to plant. They are not growing plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photos show the flowers in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Single Late tulip with tall, sturdy stems and long-lasting flowers in late spring, which extends the tulip season into May. It looks striking in borders and containers, and it is a favourite for cutting and for the vase. It pairs well with pale and pastel tulips for contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant the bulbs in autumn, pointed end up, in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, as they can rot in waterlogged ground. Space them about 10-15cm apart for a full display. They also grow well in pots. After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally to feed the bulb. Like most modern tulips, this one flowers best in its first spring and can dwindle in later years, so many gardeners replant fresh bulbs each autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulbs are harmful if eaten. Keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulipa spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tulip 'Queen of the Night', Black Tulip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 60-70cm tall and 10-15cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, single-stemmed bulbous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, containers, cut flower gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to May (this variety flowers in late spring)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep maroon-purple, near-black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 15-20cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very hardy, survives British winters in the ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68152659017948,"sku":"COL-BULB-TUL-QUE-NIG-15","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_882b218f-28b8-4d54-94a5-af333e9531e6.png?v=1794155049","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-bulb-tul-que-nig-15","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
