Description
This modern-looking hardy flower makes a dramatic show in the garden. Tulip 'Black Satin' produces velvety, deep maroon-black blooms with a glossy sheen. They make the biggest impact when planted in a group to really emphasise their colour, and are also a stunning cut flower, making an eye-catching display indoors. Plant tulip bulbs in late summer or autumn. Tulips will grow well in any moist, well-drained soil, except for particularly wet soils. Choose a sunny position that is sheltered from strong winds. When planting tulip bulbs avoid shallow planting as this may reduce the winter cold period that is essential for tulip bulbs to produce flowers in spring. Plant them at a depth of 15cm and at a distance of 13cm apart. After flowering, deadhead the faded tulip flowers and allow the foliage to die back completely before removing it in summer. Caution: Tulip bulbs are an irritant to skin and eyes and are harmful if eaten. Height: up to 56cm. Spread: up to 20cm. Supplied as 16 Bulbs.
