Tulipa 'Black Parrot' Bulb

Tulipa ‘Black Parrot’ is a striking late spring tulip known for its deeply fringed, ruffled petals in a dramatic shade of dark maroon to near-black. The large, exotic blooms have an almost iridescent quality, with feathered edges that create a sense of movement and texture, making this variety a bold and captivating choice for garden borders, containers, and floral arrangements. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Black Parrot’ prefers a sheltered position to support its tall stems and flamboyant flowers against wind. It typically flowers in late spring, offering a theatrical flourish to the end of the tulip season. Like most tulips, it benefits from autumn planting and a dry summer dormancy to ensure healthy growth and flowering. Ideal for gardeners looking to add drama and sophistication to their spring displays, ‘Black Parrot’ combines dark, moody colour with a unique flower form, making it a standout feature in both contemporary and classic planting schemes.
