"Dark polished mahogany," is how Peter Henderson described this tall, late tulip in 1929, but it always reminds us of dark sweet cherries. Despite its dramatic looks, 'Philippe' had vanished from American gardens until we reintroduced it in 1998. The great 'Black Parrot' is its ruffled sport (mutation).
