Introducing the Tulip 'Black Bean', a single late tulip that captivates with its extraordinary dark hue. Its near-black blossoms offer a striking spectacle in springtime borders, their deep burgundy-violet petals a subject of fascination. As a collector's favourite, the 'Black Bean' tulip is nothing short of a garden sensation. Its rarity lies in its dark colouration, seldom found in the floral world. To maximise its visual impact, it is advisable to plant these tulips in larger clusters, where their unique colour can be accentuated through contrast, especially when juxtaposed with white or pastel shades. With an expected height of approximately 55 cm, these intriguing blooms are set to grace your garden in May.

As for its cultivation requirements, the 'Black Bean' tulip is not particularly demanding. It thrives in well-drained, light, and moderately moist soil, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. Adequate sunlight and nutrients are essential for achieving its signature dark colour.

Planting these tulips is best undertaken during the autumn months. The bulbs should be set in holes that are 12-15 cm deep, spaced 10-15 cm apart. Come early spring, expect the emergence of leaves, soon to be followed by the flower-bearing shoots. Maintenance involves routine weeding, watering, and fertilising. After the flowering season, it is recommended to pollard the plants to strengthen the bulbs and minimise disease spread. While these tulips can remain in the ground during their summer dormancy, it is advisable to dig them up and replant them the following autumn for optimal results.
