The story

Nearly black, fully double.

Densely petaled maroon-black flowers that pass for peonies at a distance, on 22–24 inch stems. Lightly fragrant. A sport of the single tulip 'Queen of Night', so the color is the real thing.

Light

Full sun to light shade.

Water

Water at planting. Dry in summer.

Planting

Plant in fall when soil is cool, 6–8 in. deep.

The dark accent that makes everything near it look brighter.
