Tulip Black Parrot
Tulipa Black Parrot
OUT OF STOCK
This deeply coloured cultivar boasts large flared heads with intricately feathered edges. Petals twist and turn artistically, each one a rich and velvety maroon-black. Black Parrot is hard to ignore and sure to impress this spring. Each flower head sits on a tall sturdy stem, surrounded by lance-shaped foliage. How about mixing Black Parrot with White Parrot, for a celebration of light and dark? The white will simply glow in sunlight, while the black will smoulder. Don't forget that tulips li ke to be planted late in October and November with the colder weather (it helps wipe out disease, too.) Plant bulbs pointy side up, 15cm deep and water well. 11/12cm bulbs supplied. Flowers April to May. Height 50cm.

Soil Type
Well drained garden soil |
Plant bulbs in well dug soil about 8-10cm deep and approx 15cm apart. It is often beneficial to use a little bonemeal or super phosphate mixed in with the soil. Tulips delight during their growth in a sunny location.
After the tulips have bloomed and when leaves fade and turn brown the bulbs can be lifted, dried, cleaned and stored in a cool place until planting time. Tulips should not be grown in the same soil for several years, so replace with fresh soil every other year.
