Black Parrot
OUT OF STOCKBlack Parrot
T1611
A distinguished tulip for the late spring garden, ‘Black Parrot’ dramatically flaunts feathered, undulating petals of velvety rich-maroon as it unfolds.
Tall stems make this RHS award-winning tulip perfect for cutting. The handsome blooms are long-lasting both in the garden and in the vase, twisting, curling and lightening to a swirling palette of plum shades as it opens and develops.
The dark, beautifully laciniated flowers look even more striking planted next to more simple-shaped tulips, either in similar tones or contrasting colours. We love it brushing up against the fragrant orange, lily-flowering tulip ‘Ballerina’.

The huge flowers are also great for cutting and adding a striking feature to floral arrangements. Display a single stem in a bud vase to admire this extravagant beauty up close.
