Product description
Tulip Amazing Parrot is an exotic, flamboyant variety featuring deeply ruffled, twisted petals that look like tropical bird feathers in a fiery blend of pinks, oranges, and apricots. This late-spring bloomer provides a massive pop of eccentric texture and serves as a dramatic, attention-grabbing centerpiece in any border or container.
These bulbs should be planted in late autumn in perfectly draining soil to prevent winter rot. Due to the delicate, sail-like nature of the fringed petals, position them out of the path of strong spring gales, and snap off the fading bloom before it goes to seed so energy returns to the bulb for its summer dormancy.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 11-12.

How to Plant
To properly plant Tulip Amazing Parrot, wait until November and dig a hole roughly 15 cm deep in well-draining loam. Place the bulb firmly at the bottom with its pointed tip facing the sky before covering it back up.
