Tulip 'Amazing Parrot'
As a member of the Parrot tulip group, 'Amazing Parrot' is defined by its exceptionally large, fringed petals that mimic the flamboyant plumage of a tropical bird. These late-spring bloomers produce heavy, six-inch flowers on sturdy 18- to 22-inch stems that are bred to support the weight of the massive, sculptural heads. The color palette is a complex tapestry of deep raspberry and cerise-red, feathered with warm orange or soft pink highlights along the scalloped, twisting edges.
To achieve the best display, plant these bulbs in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun to light shade. They are particularly effective when massed in garden borders or placed in prominent focal spots where their unique, curled textures can be observed up close. Beyond the garden bed, 'Amazing Parrot' is a premier choice for cut-flower arrangements, offering enough dramatic presence and size to serve as a standalone centerpiece in a vase.
Growing instructions
Tulip bulbs should be kept cool until ready to plant; and planted in fall at least a month before the ground freezes.
