Notes
'Silver Parrot' tulip (Tulipa 'Silver 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 or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms from early to late spring. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall, so the stems work well in a vase.
Pairs well with Queen of Night tulip, Armenian grape hyacinth, Wood forget-me-not, and Fringed bleeding heart.
