Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit

Tulipa Black Parrot is an award-winning parrot tulip, celebrated as one of the darkest and most dramatic tulips available. This heirloom variety, introduced in 1937, continues to captivate gardeners with its stunning black-purple blooms that exude a sense of mystery and elegance. Each flower boasts large, frilled petals with feathery edges, creating a ruffled appearance reminiscent of a parrot’s plumage, making it one of the most visually striking tulips you can grow.

As late spring arrives, Black Parrot tulips make their entrance, producing these exquisite, cup-shaped flowers on tall, sturdy stems that reach up to 20 inches in height. The blooms, with their deep, velvety hue, are set against a backdrop of strappy grey-green leaves, adding to the overall allure of the plant. These tulips are not only visually stunning in the garden but also make exceptional cut flowers. Thei
