Tulip Night Rider

The most mysterious of all: Tulip Black Parrot. The petals are so long that they seem to spread as wings. The dark purple-red is matt on the outside of the petals, but shiny as onyx on the inside. One of my favourites to pick, because it just looks extremely dramatic in a vase. Try to combine with the late flowering red Tulip Kingsblood or the white Tulip Maureen. Or let your imagination go free. Introduced in 1937, even before the black Tulip Queen of Night.

The extravagant parrot Tulip Victoria's Secret is dressed in dark purple satin with a beautiful flower shape. The full, slightly flamboyant but sturdy flower keeps its shape well and has a long flowering period. This haute couture variety is unique in colour and shape, and is therefore perfect to use in blends and bouquets. Note that the blue heart goes beautifully with the purple colour.

This variant on the Spring Green Tulip has a red flame. Very rare.

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.
