Tulip Parrot Prince is a spectacular Parrot tulip producing richly coloured deep magenta-purple blooms with dramatically ruffled, feathered petals. The large exotic flowers unfurl beautifully during May, adding texture, movement and luxurious colour to the late spring garden. Reaching approximately 45cm in height, this striking variety is perfect for borders, beds, patio containers and stunning cut flower arrangements where its unusual form creates an unforgettable display.

Easy to grow and full of character, Tulip Parrot Prince makes an exceptional feature when planted in generous drifts or paired with white, pink or near-black tulips for bold contrast. Its distinctive blooms bring elegance and drama to gardens while also lasting well as cut flowers indoors.

Aftercare
Remove faded flowers once blooming has finished, but allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following season. Plant in well-drained soil to keep bulbs healthy over winter. Lifting and storing bulbs after the foliage has died back may improve flowering performance in heavier soils.
