Tulipa White Parrot (Parrot Tulip)

Tulip 'White Parrot' is quite a refreshing sight with its oversized, ivory-white ruffled blooms, often feathered in pale green and looking like parrot feathers. As its large flower is exposed to the sun over time, it opens so wide that it almost flattens out, revealing its brilliant colors. Blooming in late spring, this spectacular tulip belongs to the Parrot Tulips group.

• Growing up to 18-20 inches tall (45-50 cm), this tulip creates dazzling harmonies with other late-season flowering bulbs.
