Hello
I am after some advice please. My sister has bought black tulip bulbs for several years from a market in Amsterdam, to grow in her back garden - we are on Sussex clay. She doesn't recall which variety, but every time she has planted them, they always come up red - not blackish red - but true red. We are on clay soil in Sussex. Has anyone else had similar experiences, or have you got any tips please to get the black ones to come up 'blackish / purplish black'. I was wondering if its anything to do with the soil, or if she should obtain them from a different supplier? Any tips gratefully received. Thanks
