Blue flowers are rare, but a blue tulip is rarer still. Magnificent 8- to 10-inch wide, curled and frilled blue-purple petals are brushed with mauve, bronze, and purple in the 'Blue Parrot' Tulip. A bed filled with these magnificent tulips looks for all the world like a flock of exotic birds ruffling their feathers in the spring sunshine. Blooming mid- to - late season atop strong, sturdy stems 20 to 22 inches tall, 'Blue Parrot' Tulip needs a sunny spot in good soil, sheltered from harsh wind and rain to extend the life of their blooms. Our large, 12-cm bulbs will provide plenty of excitement in your spring garden.
