Tulip Antraciet demands attention. Huge, scented, opulent peony-like blooms open from tight, dark red buds in April and May. The almost metallic sheen on the multi-layers of satiny, crimson-magenta petals deserves to be admired close-up. Tulips are the most-loved early season blooms both for your garden and as cut flowers to decorate your home as the spring weather warms up after a bleak winter. You will never go wrong planting and growing tulips. Once the ultimate symbol of prosperity and wealth. In the 17th century 'Tulipomania' took hold of Holland and a single bulb would sometimes be sold for the price one would pay for a house! Centuries later, breeders are producing new varieties including many with unusual shades and shapes. Tulips are versatile and happy in borders and containers. Plant Tulip bulbs in the autumn, in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Tulip Antraciet grows to an approximate height of 45cm and is a hardy bulbous perennial.
