Tulip Queens Garden Mix

Go bold with the bodacious blues in your sunny garden in this premium Tulip Queens Garden Mix. In Queens Garden Mix, you get two varieties of late-blooming tulip, Black Parrot and Queen of the Night, plus the hardy Blue Camassia to complete the display!

Beginning in mid- to late spring, you'll be treated to all the various forms and shades of blue in this collection. Tulip Queens Garden Mix is named for Queen of the Night, a magnificent Mayflowering (Single Late) Tulip honored by the Royal Horticulture Society with its highest award, and transforms every garden and vase it enters. This bowl-shaped tulip is the darkest in the family, with charcoal-black tones among the deep violet. Standing 24 inches high, it is a majestic presence in the spring bulb garden, its color unequalled.

Just a few inches shorter than Queen of the Night, but every bit as showy, is the famous Black Parrot, introduced nearly 80 years ago and never bettered for dynamic twisty form and rich black highlights on burgundy petals. The form is bold and asymmetrical, each bloom distinctive on 16- to 18-inch stems. Like Queen of the Night, it is long-lived and attention getting.

Blue Camassia is a change of pace from the tulips, offering spires of pure azure blue 2 to 3 inches wide, filled with open starry blooms. A native American perennial, Camassia is very easy to grow and tolerant, and you will find it flowering freely long past the tulips' season of color. Reaching 30 inches high, it is a great source of blue color for the spring and summer garden.

Plant Tulip Queens Garden Mix in any sunny, well-drained soil. It needs no attention, offers stunning colors and forms, and flowers for several weeks.
