Planting and Growing Information
Plant Black Hero tulip bulbs in fall, approximately 6-8 weeks before the first hard frost. These versatile performers thrive in full sun but tolerate partial shade, making them suitable for diverse landscape settings. Plant bulbs 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil. Hardy in USDA zones 3-8, Black Hero blooms in late spring when many other tulips have faded, extending the seasonal color display for your clients' properties.
