Sometimes more IS better! As if this jaw droppingly flamboyant Parrot type needed any help garnering attention, it sports a truly showstopping, golden yellow color and spring green accents that steal the spotlight. Jan van Nes emerges in late spring boasting all the amazing flair of the typical Parrot tulip—gorgeous, full flower form, heavily feathered petals and a carefree nature. Makes an exceptional specimen planting or border addition. A must-have for the cutting garden or mixed feature bed as well.

These were the stunner of my garden this year and that's saying a lot because I planted over 100 bulbs in the front of my house!

My Tulip Experience

I ordered a couple hundred dollars worth of tulips and maybe 10 came up. I ordered for the right zone and used miracle grow on them. So disappointed in what I got this year. Hoping they do better next season. Thought maybe it was because they were just planted this year.

Ordinary yellow tulips

By KCL

From OH

Almost all of them grew, but they weren't parrots, and not a hint of green. The most basic ordinary yellow tulips imaginable.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Q
I PLACED AN ORDER OF 2075 BULBS OF 8 DIFFERENT VARIETIES. ITEMS 81088, 63666 AND 81659 HAVE NOT BLOOMED. ARE THESE LATE BLOOMING TULIPS? A FEW ARE POKING OUT OF THE SOILS BUT NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE I WOULD EXPECT BY NOW. i AM IN VIRGINIA.
Asked by amber
Verified Reply - AngelaThose varieties of tulips are May bloomers and considered late season tulips. Our soil temperatures here are about 10 degrees colder than average. I would expect your soil is a bit colder as well. I think it's possible they will all be a little late blooming this year. Please contact Customer Care if your tulips aren't showing off by late May.Was this answer helpful to you
