Tulipa Black Parrot (Parrot Tulip)

Award-winning Tulip 'Black Parrot' is a dazzling whimsically-shaped tulip with fragrant dark purple flowers, almost flamed, and edged in black. As its large flower is exposed to the sun over time, it opens so wide that it almost flattens out, revealing its brilliant colors. Irresistible! Blooming in late spring, this spectacular tulip belongs to the Parrot Tulips group.
