Description
Let the blue bird of happiness land in your garden and stretch its feathery plumage out to the sun in late springtime. The Tulip 'Blue Parrot' offers a display of deep mauve and blue wavy-edged large petals flushed with a deep bronze purple inside, that will surely give you every reason to feel happy. Watch in wonder as you see these feathery petals break free of the green bud which initially houses the blooms of allparrot tulips. As Tulip 'Blue Parrot' emerges, the feathery petals adopt the look of a bird’s crest before the blooms open fully to become huge, almost flat flowers.
