Tulip Parrot ‘Estella Rijnveld’ bulbs grow into magnificent red and white ruffled flowers, with flecks of green, that are reminiscent of the plumage on an exotic bird. Perfect for creating dramatic and dazzling displays, the huge petals add drama and head-turning beauty.
For an impactful display, plant the tulips in a cluster in your beds and borders, or combine them with the simplicity of a classically shaped tulip, that leaves its beauty unchallenged. They also make a wonderful addition to pots and containers, where they can add colour and drama to entrances, patios and balcony areas. With such an exquisite floral display, it will be hard to resist cutting some stems for floral displays around the home as well.
Despite its exotic appearance, this tulip is a surprisingly low-maintenance, reliable addition to the spring-time garden. To get the best blooms from your Tulip Parrot ‘Estella Rijnveld’ bulbs, plant them in a sunny position, in free draining soil. Ideally find a spot that is sheltered and will protect the flowers from harsh wind so you can enjoy a long-lasting floral display.
