Paul Scherer Tulip Bulbs — Triumph, Near-Black

Paul Scherer Tulips are authentic Dutch triumph tulips, imported direct from the Netherlands — celebrated as the darkest tulips available, with near-black blooms carried on sturdy 18-inch stems. Their dramatic color, sleek silhouette, and reliable late-spring performance make them a standout in modern gardens and a favorite for contrast plantings.

The clean, classic cup shape lets the deep, velvety near-black coloring take full focus, making Paul Scherer an ideal anchor for moody or modern color schemes and a striking contrast against lighter spring blooms. A sleek, dramatic choice for anyone who fell in love with the color and boldness of the tulip fields during a visit to Pella.
