Parrot tulips
OP 50 and 250 bulbs
Parrot tulips were described for the first time as long ago as 1630. Their characteristic petal shape
and colouring were highly unusual. Parrot tulips are sports of normal tulip varieties. For example,
the variety “Fantasy” (1910) was created as a sport of “Clara Butt” (1989). Very popular group of
varieties for garden lovers and garden designers. Eminently suited to group planting and beds, but
should only be planted in locations protected from the wind, as the heavy flowers otherwise topple
easily.
