Description
If Halloween were in spring, this tulip would probably be Number 1. Its the result of decades of work trying over and over to breed a truly black tulip. Queen of the Night is the closest any of the Dutch hybridizers have ever come to black, even though it's really a deep deep purple. In some light it appears jet black. And in arrangements, it is the flower arranger's darling and the gardener's pride. The experts in Holland tell us men particularly love this tulip along with the pure red ones. It's just as easy to grow as all the others, so why not invite the dark queen into your garden, and watch the neighbors oooh and ahhh.'

      Comments about American Meadows Single Late Tulip Bulbs Queen of the Night:

      These tulips are amazing. All of the bulbs came up, and the blooms were a sultry shade of deep, dark purple. I planted with some red/yellow tulips for contrast, and it was stunning. I highly recommend this bulb.

        This tulip is amazing! The last to bloom and well worth the wait. I planted them in containers in the backyard and they grew quite well, I also used the bulb fertilizer sold here and that helped. These flowers look great in a vase on the dinner table or out in the garden. Easy to grow for any level of gardener!
