The ideal choice for ushering the dramatic color of midnight into the early season. About 2 weeks earlier to flower than 'Queen of the Night', the sweetly fragrant 1 1/2–2" blooms are dark purple to burgundy, almost black. Stems are sturdy for easier handling. NOTE: Bulbs do not come pre-chilled; if growing in hardiness Zones 8–10, see growing information (below) for pre-chilling instructions.
