Parrot tulip selection - Parrot mix - will appeal to fans of unusual, slightly extravagant flowers. The showy parrot tulips, that immediately bring exotic vegetation to mind, attract attention with the juicy colours of their arching petals. Fancifully twisted and bent large, cup-shaped flowers bring unusual accents to the garden, adding character to traditionally arranged flower beds. These tulips, dazzling both with their shape and colour, are worth considering when designing new flower beds and borders. You can also grow them in bowls, pots, and boxes. Parrot tulips are sensational cut flowers, suitable for unusual bouquets and compositions. You can admire the beauty of these tulips in the second half of May.

Tulips belong to rather undemanding flowering plants whose, cultivation is not difficult. You only need to follow a few easy rules to achieve success in tulip cultivation. The right kind of soil is key - it must be light, permeable, rich in nutrients, with a pH close to neutral. Choose a sunny or semi-shaded location. Watering and fertilizing belong to the most important care measures. Tulips need plenty of moisture at the time of emergence and during flower formation. During the remaining development stages, it is better to keep the soil drier than waterlogging the site. Apart from enriching the soil with compost or manure before the planting it autumn, fertilization is superfluous. We recommend buying special tulip planting baskets. They are specially designed to protect bulbs from pests and facilitate excavation.
