Product Description
Tulip ‘Blue Parrot’ is a violet-blue spectacle with ruffled, feathered petals. Standing 40-60 cm tall, its upright stems carry flamboyant flowers that create a striking focal point in borders, beds and containers.
This Parrot Tulip combines a strong columnar habit with dramatic, textured blooms. Deeply fringed petals and shifting lavender-blue tones catch the light, adding movement and depth, while robust stems make it ideal for cutting or massed displays. Paired with the right companion plants, it introduces layers of colour and architectural interest to any planting scheme.
Thriving in full sun on well-drained soil, ‘Blue Parrot’ flowers in late April to May, bridging early spring bulbs and summer perennials. Its vibrant blooms harmonise with soft pastels such as forget-me-nots or contrast with darker-leafed plants like Heucheras, providing lasting seasonal impact wherever it is planted.

Growing at a glance…
Tulip bulbs should be planted in autumn, before any frost. Find an area of soil that is well-drained and moist and plant your bulbs at twice their depth and spaced apart by 10-15cm. Ensure they are properly covered, you should not be able to see them on the surface of the soil. Position in an area that you know receives plenty of sunlight but is also sheltered from harsh winds. Deadhead the flowers once they wilt, encouraging a healthier plant.
