Tulip ‘Estella Rijnveld’ (10 bulbs)

Tulipa ‘Estella Rijnveld’ is the perfect example of springtime exuberance producing stunning bi-colour flowers with heavily fringed petals of scarlet and white that open out until nearly flat in the sun.

Parrot tulip are whimsically-shaped tulips with serrated or fringed petals. Green as buds, they will eventually open into mature unusually-coloured flowers, resembling a parrot’s plumage.

These ‘Estella Rijnveld’ bulbs will flower in May, growing lance-shaped grey-green leaves and reaching an eventual total height of around 50cm/20″.

These hardy spring bulbs are perfect for planting in small groups in borders or containers, preferably protected from strong winds. They are also excellent as cut flowers earning themselves a place in the cut flower garden.

‘Estella Rijnveld’ tulip bulbs are able to be grown in almost any soil, be it acid, alkaline or neutral, provided there is good drainage. Look for an area of full sun, in a place where tulips have not been grown in recent years. Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm/4″ deep and 10cm/4″ apart.
