Next year will be year 5 in this garden, though, so I'm thinking that the evictions will begin! And I don't know much about those other tulip varieties, but I loved my 'Black Hero'... and they are truly dark! So I hope that they mixed them with lighter colors, or found them a lighter-colored background, to show them off well. <em>Kim, You're right about 'Black Hero' - they can make a hole without some bit of contrast around them. Hopefully we'll at least have some patches that show up... - 5 years is a milestone! (I'll bet some of your plants will start paying their rent to avoid eviction -- that's what our phlox did.) -kris</em> I tend to move stuff around year-round, but haven’t been here long enough yet to start massive evictions.
