About Tulip Parrot Assorted

The Parrot Tulip is a truly unique and even whimsical variety thanks to its twisted, ruffled or curled petals that unfurl with brilliant colours and flame-like splashes. The flowers are green as buds and as they are exposed to the sun, the petals open so wide that they almost flatten out revealing its vibrant colours. Each flower in this assortment is a work of art resembling the colourful feathers of the tropical bird that they are named after.

*As with all assorted bulbs, they are packaged at random and certain colours cannot be guaranteed.

How to Grow Tulips

Planting Tulips

  • Plant these bulbs in fall.
  • If you cannot plant your bulbs right away store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
  • Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) deep and 10 cm (4 in) apart.
  • Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Tulips

  • Plant bulbs with different bloom times together for an ongoing show of colour.
  • These bulbs do best in loose, well-drained soil.
  • Plant the taller varieties somewhat out of the wind, due to their height.
  • These bulbs are suitable for almost every possible application: fields, beds, containers, borders, rock gardens, as cut flowers and for forcing.

Tulips Care

  • If you have problems with deer, spray the bulbs with deer repellent when the bulbs are 5 cm (2 in) out of the ground and when the flower bud is visible.
  • Fertilize your tulips just before blooming with a slow-release fertilizer for the best chance to bloom again next year.
  • Remove the flowers when they are spent.

Winterizing Tulips

  • After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
  • Tulips require a period of cold weather while they’re dormant and resting between shows.
  • Most tulips should be treated as annuals, some Fosteriana, Greigii and species tulips are suitable for naturalizing.
