The original colouring of the Giant Parrot Tulip will quickly win hearts of gardeners. The irregularly shaped petals of this variety stimulate imagination and automatically bring birds of paradise to mind. This tulip, shimmering with red, yellow, and green reflexes, produces large, wide-opening blooms, consisting of frilled, wavy petals, that are set on thirty to forty-five centimetres tall stems. That set of features puts Giant Parrot Tulips at the top of the list of unique varieties. Planting it in a larger group intensifies the visual effect. The unusual shape and colour of this tulip will refresh your garden with a magnificent, invigorating accent wherever we decide to plant them. Giant Parrot tulip flowers in May and is the perfect companion for other contrastingly coloured tulips and perennials. It also blooms reliably in pots and becomes an instant eye-catcher in bouquets that decorate your home.

Mid-September to mid-October is the best time to plant tulips. This species is rather tolerant when it comes to the growing conditions. The only thing that must be avoided is excessively moist soil that might lead to rotting of bulbs. Planting tulips at sunny positions with well-drained, fertile soil guarantees best results. Tulips do not require time-consuming or complicated care. Watering, fertilizing, and removing wilted flowers is all they need. Digging out the bulbs every year is recommended, but not obligatory - the tulips winter well in the ground.
