Quick Guide
• Deep purple-black blooms, dramatic and striking appearance
• Perfect for borders and containers, versatile planting
• Hardy and resilient, suitable for UK climates
• Long-lasting blooms, late-season flowering
• Easy to grow, minimal care required
Tulipa ‘Paul Scherer’ is one of the darkest tulips available, offering a stunning deep purple-black bloom that adds drama and sophistication to your spring garden. This tulip variety is perfect for creating bold contrasts in borders, beds, and containers, particularly when paired with lighter or more vibrant spring flowers such as white daffodils or pink hyacinths. ‘Paul Scherer’ blooms later in the spring season, extending the beauty of your garden well into May. Its strong stems and long-lasting flowers make it ideal for cutting and bringing indoors as well. This hardy tulip is well-suited to the UK climate, thriving in full sun or partial shade with minimal maintenance. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting, ‘Paul Scherer’ is an easy-to-grow variety that will make a striking impact in any garden setting.
Bulb Planting Guide:
Plant Tulipa ‘Paul Scherer’ bulbs in the autumn for a spectacular late spring display. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil, and plant the bulbs at a depth of 15 cm, spacing them 10-15 cm apart. In containers, consider using Miracle-Gro Bulb Fibre Compost to encourage healthy growth, and pair with other tulip varieties or contrasting bulbs like Narcissus ‘Thalia’ for a striking combination. For a show-stopping effect, plant in a layered or Lasagna style in a quality container from Boma Garden Centre. Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting and during dry periods in the growing season, but be careful not to overwater. Feeding with a balanced plant food from Boma Garden Centre will support strong growth and vibrant blooms. Use hand tools like the RHS Hand Held Bulb Planter for precise planting. Watch out for pests such as aphids and slugs, and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
