Looking good in the garden
This tulip lasts for weeks and as it opens it begins to look like a black cardoon (or artichoke) flower. The multilayered petals resist the weather and (although not as elegant as the single ‘Queen of Night’) this tulip has shape and contour. Use it with pale narcissi or a pale tulip.
