One of the newer, so-called  'Coronet'  or 'Crown' tulips. We have to confess to not liking all the introductions which have been made in this group - the shape can be untidy in some manifestations. However, the unique colour of 'Negrita' translates well into this style, making a really neat form. The virtue of the Coronets lies in the strength of their petals, which make for long-lasting...

Although we use other 'black' tulips where they are appropriate, this is our personal out & out favourite. The flowers are wider than other, more pointed, blacks, so the overall effect is - blacker. A glorious backdrop for the cooler pinks &...
