Yes, tulips can be grown from viable seeds, but seed-grown plants may take several years to mature and flower. The resulting plants may not reproduce the exact characteristics of a named cultivar. Tulips are commonly grown from bulbs when flowering sooner and preserving cultivar characteristics are priorities. Confirm the planting material with your supplier.
Most flowers marketed as black tulips are actually very dark purple or maroon and can appear nearly black in certain lighting. Flower color depends on the cultivar and growing conditions. Check the supplier's variety information before promising a completely black flower.
Tulip bulbs are commonly planted in fall in climates with cold winters, allowing them to experience a suitable cool period before spring flowering. Growing tulips from seeds follows different requirements and may take much longer. Choose planting instructions according to the identified variety, supplied material, and local climate.
