My Love >>> Black Tulip



Black tulips, also named as Queen of the Night~~

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to flower
Comes a pause in the days occupation
That is known as the Black Tulip hour

                                                               Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Nowdays black tulips are number four on America's top 10 list of favorite tulips.

In the dim light of dawn and twilight, the black tulip looks nearly jet-black. Although not actually black in color, the Black Tulip puts an aura of midnight moonlight into your garden with a royal shade of deep purple and is especially striking in the midday sunshine when paired with bright yellow or crimson red tulips. However, planting the Black Tulip to bloom with your other tulip cultivars takes some careful preparation, since the Black Tulip tends to bloom later in the season than other tulip bulbs.
The Black Tulip is also known as the Queen of the Night. The Queen of the Night is the closest that hybridists have come to creating a ture black tulip.
Black Tulips are an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, as either an addition to color or a striking display on their own.
