This glorious parrot tulip offers a stunning blend of colour and form. Each satin-like petal has a generously ruffled edge, and its colours are a rich blend of pinks and apricot-orange. The big, blousy blooms are held aloft on sturdy stems, so they look really eye-catching in the border - and they also look wonderful in a vase. - Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering deadhead and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
