Tulip Black Parrot

The most bizarre introduction in years is our Tulip Ice Cream. You can take a look at it and let your imagination do the rest, but no matter how you turn it, it certainly looks like a delicious ice cream: a firm cup filled with sweet strawberry sundae topped with a mountain of whipped cream. Tulip Ice Cream is a rare variety, but also very artistic, you could make quite an impressive arrangement with this beauty. Originated in 1999 from a cross breeding between the double white T. Casa Blanca and the double red with yellow edges T. West Frisia.

Tulip Queen of Night is the most famous black tulip. Long sought after, but finally found. The black tulip! Well in fact it is very very dark purple, but for us its black enough. This tulip stand on long elegant stems and makes a mysterious impression in your garden. A late flowering tulip that blooms in early May. This is the true Queen of Night. Introduced in 1944.

This classic parrot tulip is loved for its flamboyant shape and beautiful colours of red and white. This seems to come straight out of painting.

In 1984 the double flowered sport of Tulip Queen of Night was dicovered, it was named Tulip Black Hero. Coloured in the same deep purplish black Tulip Black Hero has very full double flowers and is one of the highest tulips available, especially for a double tulip. Flowering at the very end of the season you can make a grand combination with other late blooming tulips such as the light pink Tulip Angelique (left in photo), or with his sister Tulip Queen of Night. Tulip Black Hero is suitable for cutting.
