Description
Chestnut to deep burgundy-purple, flamed and edged with black. Parrot tulip, 45 to 55 centimetres, May, extra-large petals with fringed feathery edge. Dramatic cut flower.
Black Parrot is a classic parrot tulip with large format and intense colour. Chestnut-brown to deep burgundy-purple, flamed and edged with black. Sometimes with contrasting white "swirls" on petals. Extra-large petals with the typical fringed feathery parrot edge, opens wide in sun. Late-blooming. 45 to 55 centimetres, a dramatic cut flower that lasts for weeks. Plant in full sun to part shade. Pair her with lighter late-blooming tulips for contrast.
The Dramatic. Black that still glows.
The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand-selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.

Questions about this tulip.
Plant this tulip in Jan, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. As long as the ground is not frozen, there is still time.
Rule of thumb: plant a bulb two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. The exact depth and spacing for this variety are on the planting card attached to the bag and in the planting guide we send along.
Fully grown, this tulip reaches about 45-55 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.
Yes, but not every tulip equally strongly. Botanical tulips and Darwin hybrids come back for years; large-flowered tulips are at their best in the first year.

Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
