One of the oldest and most beloved tulips—and one of the darkest available.
This award-winning parrot has heavily frilled and scalloped blooms that are dark purple on the outside and have blackish-purple interiors. Some are accented with green streaks or twists in the center of each petal. Spectacular in beds and borders, Black Parrot's extraordinary colouration and fringed edging gives it a unique look that stands out no matter where you put it. This Award of Garden Merit winner is a musthave for the landscape, and its feathery blooms will set your bouquets apart from the others.
