Tulip Negrita Double is a truly luxurious variety, producing large, double flowers in a rich shade of deep purple. Flowering in April and May, its peony-like blooms create a dramatic impact in the garden, bringing a sense of elegance and bold colour to spring borders and displays. Its strong stems and impressive flower size also make it a fantastic cut flower for indoor arrangements.

Thriving in well-drained soils, Tulip Negrita Double grows well in sunny positions, though the flowers will last longer in partial shade. Perfect for planting in groups, it looks particularly striking in beds and borders, and pairs beautifully with lighter-coloured tulips or spring bulbs such as daffodils and crocus in layered plantings.
