Purple Perfection
Verified Buyer
These were stunning! I think every bulb bloomed from late March through April.
I will definitely be ordering from K. van Bourgondien again.
Verified Buyer
They all came up and were so pretty. They were more purple than black but still gorgeous!
Striking, long-lasting blooms
These were striking, beautiful tulips that lasted for several weeks. They look particularly good where I co-planted them with 'White Clouds,' so I plan on putting in more of that combination this fall!
Loved them!
Verified Buyer
Great color!No better place to get spring flowering bulbs!
Amazing tulips
Verified Buyer
Gorgeous; however, many did not pop up. It will not deter me from buying more unless few only show up next season. This happens so I will try again
Stunning
I bought 2 bags and every bulb grew and bloomed. They grew pretty tall too, about 24-30in high. IM in zone 8b, WA State, planted in the fall 2022 and they bloomed 4/25/2023
Terrible Bulbs
Bulbs looked dry upon delivery. I gifted some and kept some for myself. Neither set came up. Terrible.

Do these Queen of the Night tulips come back another year? Someone in comments said they don't I ordered 200 last year and I loved them. I was wondering if I need to reorder them for next year.
