For late-spring theatre with a decidedly dark mood, Tulipa 'Black Parrot' delivers in impeccable style.

Planted in generous drifts, it brings a sophisticated edge to borders and makes an indulgent centrepiece in large pots by the door.
- Colour: Deep purple, near-black
- Flowering: April–May
- Height: 50cm
- Position: Full sun; sheltered
- Ideal for: Borders, containers
Tulipa 'Black Hero' is a wonderfully theatrical Double Late tulip, bearing fully double, peony-flowered blooms in a glossy, near-black reddish-purple. In late spring it brings instant gravitas to pots by the front door, as well as richly toned borders where its dark colour reads as a sophisticated neutral.
Strong, upright stems reach around 60cm, making it an excellent choice for cutting—particularly effective in elegant, monochrome arrangements or paired with creams, soft pinks and fresh spring greens.
- Double Late, peony-flowered tulip in sumptuous near-black tones
- Ideal for containers, borders and cutting
- Plant in autumn for flowering in April–May
- Best in a sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil
Tulipa 'Ballerina' is a beautifully refined lily-flowered tulip, celebrated for its warm yellow blooms, dramatically flamed red on the outside and opening to reveal deeper, richer red within. Held on poised, upright stems above grey-green foliage, it brings a composed, statuesque note to late spring planting schemes.
Equally at home threaded through borders or arranged in smart pots by the door, 'Ballerina' also makes an elegant cut flower—particularly when planted in generous drifts for a thoroughly polished finish.
- Flower colour: Warm yellow with red flames, opening to rich red
- Form: Lily-flowered, goblet-shaped blooms with pointed, slightly reflexed petals
- Best for: Borders, containers and cutting gardens
Tulipa 'Apricot Beauty' is a beautifully mannered Single Early tulip, admired for its cup-shaped blooms in soft apricot-salmon pink, gently warmed with a hint of orange. In the spring garden it reads as quietly luminous—equally at home in smart pots by the front door as it is threaded through a border among fresh greens and early perennials.
Plant in autumn for a mid-spring performance, and allow the stems to rise to an elegant, upright finish. A refined choice for gardeners who prefer their colour nuanced rather than brash.
