Tulip - Black Parrot - Tulipa - Sought-After Collector’s Choice - Bulbs - Large Pack - 50 pcs

Black Parrot is a striking tulip variety valued by collectors and garden enthusiasts for its rare, dark burgundy blooms and distinctive fringed petals. This sought-after form brings a dramatic edge to spring planting schemes, with flowers that stand out for their unusual shape and rich, velvety colour. Reaching a height of 50-60 cm, Black Parrot tulips make a strong impression in borders and mixed plantings, and are frequently chosen by those looking for unique garden bulbs to add to their collections.

Planting Time

For best results, plant Black Parrot tulip bulbs in autumn - ideally from September to October. Planting during this period allows the bulbs to establish well and ensures a reliable display the following spring.

Planting Depth

Set the bulbs at a depth of around 12 cm. This depth offers protection through winter and supports healthy root development for robust spring growth.

Spacing

Allow 12-15 cm between each bulb. This spacing helps each tulip develop fully and creates attractive, well-formed flowering groups.

Height

Black Parrot tulips reach a mature height of 50-60 cm. Their size works well in combination with both shorter and taller spring-flowering plants, lending flexibility to border and bed designs.

Flowering Time

Blooming from April to May, Black Parrot produces deeply coloured, dark burgundy flowers that last for several weeks. The dramatic form and colour make it a highlight of the spring garden.

Hardiness & Overwintering

These perennial bulbs are winter hardy and can be left in the ground year-round. There is no need to lift them after flowering, which makes Black Parrot easy to maintain even for those new to planting bulbs.

Uses

Black Parrot tulips are ideal for borders, group plantings, and as a feature in spring arrangements. Their bold colour and fringed petals complement both classic and contemporary garden designs, and they are often chosen by those searching for rare or distinctive bulbs for gardens and cut flower displays.
