Description

The crinkled and curved petals of the Green Wave Parrot Tulip are truly elegant. The shimmering watercolors of pink and cream, with an occasional splash of green make this tulip a must-have. The blooms almost look iridescent, the colors resembling those of a rare and perfect pearl. Can be sensitive to cold wet weather, but excellent cut flowers. Represents perfect love & eternal happiness!

Planting Advice

Tulips perform best in full sun to partial shade
Plant tulips when temperatures have cooled in your area in fall. Once your daytime temperatures are in the 60’s or lower consistently, this is a good time to plant your tulips.
Tulips require 12-16 weeks of consistent temperatures below 50 degrees in winter in order to produce a flower bud; tulips are best suited to cold climates.
Adequate drainage is essential to the health of your tulips. Amend your soil with top soil and organic matter such as compost, manure, leaf mold or peat moss prior to planting. After you have amended your soil, it should be light and easy to work with.
Fertilize at planting with Hi Yield Bulb Food or for organic gardening use Bulb-Tone. Apply fertilizer at least 3” below the bottom of the bulbs so that the roots will get the most benefit from the fertilizer.
Tulips should be planted at least 6-8” deep with the pointed side of the tulip facing towards the sky. Dig the planting hole 12” deep so you can add fertilizer to the bottom of the hole. After adding fertilizer back fill with 3-4” of soil, plant your bulbs, then back fill with remaining soil.
Space tulips 4-6” apart when planting individual bulbs. For mass planting and brilliant bursts of color in the garden, plant the bulbs 2-3” apart in bouquet planting groups, trenches and garden beds.
Immediately after planting, water the tulip planting area. This helps to eliminate air pockets in the soil. After the initial planting, it is not necessary to provide any supplemental water to the area. In spring once the tulips have emerged you may water as necessary, although spring rains often make providing additional water unnecessary.
Apply a layer a 2” layer of mulch in late fall.

This is my first bloom
with this parrot tulip! It took my breath away when I saw it pop out!!! They had told me they weren't sure if I could grow fancy tulips in my area but I wanted to give it a try. It's just my first year some came out perfect others not so much. But they did grow so hoping next year will be a stronger bloom!!

I ordered the bulbs for a for Fall planting so I have not seen the flowers yet, but the bulbs arrived in perfect condition and they went into the ground the next day. Really looking forward to seeing these beautiful blooms in the spring.
