Description

Enjoy a tropical cocktail of colours in your spring garden with this exotic beauty, Tulip 'Caribbean Parrot'. Close up, the ruffled petals look like feathers of a bird of paradise, and the fruity shades of mango and papaya really pack a punch in any planting scheme from afar. If you haven’t planned a tropical scene for your garden in April before, now’s the time to try with a tulip like this! Extraordinary flowers like Tulip 'Caribbean Parrot', emerging in spring from hardy bulbs which sit happily outdoors throughout a cold and wet winter, are a complete marvel!

You can go all out tropical with parrot tulips, combining them with other bright tulips that will entirely illuminate your garden. On the other hand, you can put them in the spotlight as an accent plant, paired with more muted blooms like burgundy-coloured fritillaries. If you’re looking for an exquisite cut flower, look no further because Tulip 'Caribbean Parrot' is an excellent choice, with large flowers, admirable detail and a long vase life!
