Description

Tulip Amazing Parrot is a bold, flamboyant late-spring tulip with oversized ruffled blooms in a shifting palette of lavender, lilac, pink, and cream—often with dramatic green feathering. Blooming in May, it reaches 50–60 cm and is ideal for high-impact beds, feature containers, and theatrical planting designs. Its feathery, undulating petals make each flower unique.

Ideal for planting in rich, drained soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Requires full sun for proper colour development and bloom longevity. Avoid wet ground in winter—add grit or plant in raised positions where necessary. Best used in luxury hospitality grounds, garden centre showcases, or private estate displays. Combines beautifully with deep purples like Tulip Parrot Negrita, late alliums such as Allium Lucky Balloons or Purple Sensation.

While not fragrant, the open bloom shape provides excellent late nectar access for hoverflies, solitary bees, and queen bumblebees emerging late in the season. A strong contender for biodiversity-focused gardens that still seek ornamental value.

Because of the weight of the flowers, sheltered planting spots or light staking in exposed gardens is advised. Can be cut for vases, where the blooms continue to expand and evolve for up to 10 days.
