Take a poll and you'll find that red and yellow tulips are gardeners' favorites all across the country; this variety is an excellent example of the combination's appeal. With wavy petals in vibrant red and yellow, Flaming Parrots wake up sleepy spring gardens with a jolt of welcome color. Strong stems are a big plus for flower arrangers.
A very popular parrot tulip producing flamboyant primrose yellow blooms with scarlet or blood red flames, which gradually matures to creamy white with crimson flames outside and open out to form a big bowl-shaped bloom, revealing the purple-black anthers within. Each petal has a fringed edge, giving a ruffled effect which adds to the flame-like appearance! Perfect for hot-themed beds, borders and containers, grow Tulip 'Flaming Parrot' in groups for the best effect. Tulip flowers are excellent for cutting and last for up to 10 days in a vase. Bulb size 11-12. Height: 55cm (22"). Spread 20cm (8").
The peacocks and parrots of the bulb world, tulips offer are more sizes, shapes and colors than you can imagine for any type of garden design scheme. They are an incredible source of inexpensive color for the garden. Almost every color in the spectrum is available except true blue. Intensity of the colors sometimes varies according to climate and even from one season to another. Divided into 15 divisions usually depending on shape, bloom time or heritage.Plant 4x their height deep (8"-10" for regular sized tulips; 4"-6" for small tulips); 12+cm bulbs unless otherwise noted. PARROT TULIPS (Division 9) are defined by the RGBA as: "Single flowered cultivars with laciniate, curled and twisted tepals. Mainly late flowering. Stem of variable length." A flower arranger's dream, these birdlike flowers are often scalloped and heavily fringed; flowerheads can be heavier, so give protection from wind and harsh weather; often seen in European floral paintings; whz 3-8; unless otherwise noted
