Plant details
Parrot tulips are gorgeously coloured, with deeply fringed, frilled and wavy petals. Altogether extravagant in appearance, they are quite spectacular massed in the right spot in the garden with their very large heavy heads, they are vulnerable to wind and rain, and too lavish for the usual spring bedding schemes. They are best grown as a display on their own, in borders or containers, and either as a mixture or in groups of single varieties. 'Black Parrot' is just one of the variously coloured Parrot Group, with large blooms, strong stems and an exotic appeal. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
