Notes
'Rasta Parrot' tulip (Tulipa 'Rasta 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 from early to late spring. The plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall, so they make good cut stems for a vase.
Pairs well with Apollo common hyacinth, Grape hyacinth, and Fire and Ice hosta.
