Tulip Paul Scherer is widely considered one of the darkest, most dramatic Triumph tulips ever bred, featuring a deep, midnight-purple hue that borders on true black. Its classic, strong-stemmed shape perfectly highlights its gothic colouring, providing immense contrast when paired with lighter spring flowers. Bury the bulbs deeply in well-draining loam to protect them through the cold, wet months of winter. Beyond basic deadheading, the most important aspect of its care is its placement; it must be planted against a light-coloured background or mixed with white blooms, otherwise its dark silhouette will entirely disappear. These bulbs are supplied at a size of 11-12. Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold.
