Instructions
Top Tip
The ruffled, heavy white blooms of Tulip 'Super Parrot' can be vulnerable to spring storms, so position them in a sheltered spot. Cutting a few stems for an indoor vase is highly recommended, as they make spectacular, long-lasting cut flowers.
How to Water
Drench the soil once right after planting your Tulip 'Super Parrot' bulbs to kickstart root development before the frost arrives. You will only need to water them again in spring if the weather is exceptionally dry and mild.
How to Plant
Dig your planting holes to a depth of 15cm and drop the Tulip 'Super Parrot' bulbs in, pointed end uppermost. They demand a well-drained spot in the garden to ensure the dormant bulbs stay perfectly healthy through winter.
