Parrot Tulip Caribbean

Yellow petals with striking orange-fringed edges.

With their exotic shape, color and design, these sensational Tulips resemble their namesake tropical birds. Parrot Tulips are the largest and most spectacular of all tulips. Frilled, ruffled and flared petals are splashed and striped with brilliant color combinations that are unlike those of any other Tulip. They bloom on tall stems amid striking green foliage. Plant them in focal spots for a dazzling floral sensation...a decorator's delight!
