Apricot Parrot captivates with its colours. A combination of various shades of apricot enriched with white and green proves to be exceptionally attractive. To make the most of this amazing colouring, it is best to plant larger groups of this tulip at a background of single-coloured plants. The variety harmonizes with many other spring flower species. The Apricot Parrot tulip is suitable both for garden and pot cultivation. It can be used to decorate flower beds, balcony, or terrace.
