Tulipa Parrot ‘Negrita Parrot’
Tulip
Tulip Negrita Parrot is a sport of the popular Negrita tulip. It has beautiful frilled petals and comes in a dark purple color.
Parrot Tulip bulbs have charasteristic, extra large flowers with bi-colored petals in an irregular shape. They will open almost completely in full sun and range from 14 to 28 inches tall. Parrot Tulip bulbs flower late in the season and prefer a place protected from rain and wind.
They make great cut flowers and perform well in borders as well. Try planting them with Lily Flowering Tulips or Double Tulips for an exotic look. We offer many different tulip varieties for wholesale customers in Canada and the United States.
