Tulipa Paul Scherer

Tulip Paul Scherer is a strong stemmed, with slightly grey-green foliage contrasting with the exceptionally dark cup shaped flowers. I love the possibilities that tulips provide to play with colours in a way that no other plants allow. As dark as Queen of Night and probably with a stronger stem these are better than dark chocolate.

RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Tulipa Paul Scherer has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions

Tulip Paul Scherer bulbs should be planted 5" (12cm) deep and 5" (12cm) apart, or allow 7-9 per square foot in well drained soil with a sunny aspect at flowering time. Don''t be in a rush to get the tulips in the ground as they will benefit from planting in late October or early November, by which time the first frosts will have reduced the level of disease in the soil.
