Description

Tulip Parrot Mix brings together a curated collection of the most extravagant Parrot Tulip forms, each with flamboyant, feathered petals and bold, painterly colours. Expect a symphony of fiery reds, sunshine yellows, deep purples, lime greens, and bicolour combinations that twist and curl into unusual, exotic shapes. Planted en masse, the mix creates a festival of texture and colour, turning any border or container into a painter’s canvas.

Standing 40–50 cm tall, these late-spring bloomers thrive in well-drained soils and prefer sunny, open exposures in the Irish climate. While their elaborate blooms are less wind-resistant than simpler tulip classes, they can still flourish in sheltered borders, courtyard gardens, and pots. Their biodiversity value is modest, but they are best combined with pollinator-friendly bulbs like Camassia leichtlinii caerulea or Narcissus Thalia to extend ecological value.

For design, this mix offers maximum unpredictability and drama, perfect for designers seeking bold statements in public beds, mixed borders, or seasonal containers. Each flower brings a unique form, ensuring that the display evolves as the season progresses.
