Notes
'Black Parrot' tulip (Tulipa 'Black Parrot') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in early to late spring. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so the flowers work well in a vase.
Pairs well with Queen of Night tulip, Excelsior Spanish bluebell, Spring Green tulip, and Blue Parrot tulip.
