The Black Jewel tulip is a phenomenal variety with a distinctive colour and fancifully fringed petals. Every gardener who is looking for an unusual plant that adds character to flower beds should give it a chance. A dark purple tulip that reaches a height of forty-five to fifty centimetres (eighteen to twenty inches) allows for great freedom in arranging your garden. Its cup-shaped flowers with dentate edges constitute an indispensable part of spring bulb flower plantings, mixed flower beds, and various planter compositions. Black Jewel tulips are excellent cut flowers that stand out with good durability, while their elegant colour suits many occasions.

Tulips belong to most popular perennial plants, that you can find in home gardens, allotments, and urban greenery. They are easy-to-grow and have high decorative qualities. They are recommended for sunny locations, but they also tolerate partial shade. Their bulbs, planted in autumn in well-drained, fertile soil, produce beautiful flowers in April and May. Tulip is a hardy species that winters in the ground, so they can grow at the same site for three to four years. Topping, or removing, of faded flowers, is one of the important procedures that influence the quality of flowering. Properly fertilized and watered Black Jewel tulips are trouble-free and will bloom beautifully every year.
