One for the drama queens, and gardeners with a penchant for the dark side, these enchanting blooms flower in darkest brown to black
Fairly compact in size, on stems of a medium height, ‘Nightshade’ adds an intensity to the vase or border without feeling heavy or overwhelming.
Grow in a bright position to receive at least 6 hours of sunshine daily for the most impactful flowers.
Tulip petals are all edible. We scatter them over salad and use some petals dipped in tempura batter and served with a spring garden Frito Misto.
