Tulips: Tulipa 'Blue Parrot'

description for "Tulips: Tulipa 'Blue Parrot'"

Tulip 'Blue Parrot' is bright violet-blue. Have you ever seen a tulip with whipped petals? That's the magic of the parrots, a completely informal class that should be planted in the cutting garden. Very showy group of tulips with laciniated petals which open widely and lay flat like Fiesta pottery on stems. Plant in fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil. Allow foliage to yellow and wither for 6 weeks prior to removing it. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
