There truly aren't enough words to describe parrot tulips, a group that includes some of the most beautiful and colourful of all tulips. These flowers begin life as plump, green buds and remain entirely green until they open, when they start transforming into large, kaleidoscopic blooms reminiscent of a parrot's plumage.
Our Dutch tulip pros have selected some of the finest varieties available for this Parrot Tulip Collection. The bulbs you'll receive were bred to produce large, cup-shaped, multiplehued flowers—all with those signature feather-like petals—with no two exactly alike. They will add colour, texture and drama to your landscape like nothing you've ever seen!

About Parrot Tulips
These magnificent tulips have huge, cup-shaped blooms with ruffled and fringed petals that take on a feathery appearance. Add in their profuse splashes and streaks of brilliant colour, and the flowers evoke the image of a certain tropical bird known for mimicking human speech!
Growers in Holland started cultivating parrot tulips during the 18th century. With their vivid hues, exotic look and large flowers measuring nearly 5" across, these showy varieties deserve a prominent location in your garden bed, border or vase where they can be on full display.
