Tulip Texas Flame

Tulip Texas Flame

Tulip Texas Flame is a vivid Parrot flower that has  large butter-yellow flowers overlaid with bright red flames and streaks, giving late spring displays a hot, painted effect with strong colour movement and ruffled flower detail.  Well suited to professional planting where bold late spring colour, flame-patterned petals and strong public-facing display value are required such as formal bedding, mixed borders and trade landscape planting for horticulturists, landscapers, hotels and Irish county council spring schemes.

Description

Parrot Tulip Texas Flame is a high-visibility tulip planting where late spring colour needs to be bright, warm and unmistakable. It is a more open and ruffled alternative to standard red and yellow tulips, using flame markings and feathered petals to create movement across the display. The large blooms have butter-yellow petals strongly overlaid with bright red flames and streaks, with occasional fine green accents.

For Irish schemes, Texas Flame is best used where strong colour is an advantage rather than a distraction. It suits civic planters, public garden beds, hotel entrances, estate borders, courtyard containers, commercial frontages, event spaces and seasonal feature planting. The yellow and red patterning gives an immediate impact from a distance, while the feathered Parrot form provides detail for close-view displays.

Texas Flame combines well with plain yellow tulips, red tulips, cream narcissus, blue muscari, dark purple tulips and later alliums. It can also be used as a warmer partner to darker Parrot tulips where a scheme needs contrast and energy.

Because Parrot tulips produce large, ruffled flowers, Texas Flame is best placed in sheltered beds, managed borders and containers rather than exposed roadside or open verge schemes.
