Description
Parrot tulips almost always show a display of multiple colours. In time the fringed flowers will open completely for maximum exposure.
If you pick your parrot tulips in the garden, their strong stems will guarantee a long vase life. Rememer to plant them somewhat sheltered from heavy wind and rain, as the open flowers are vulnerable.
