Feathery, beetroot-purple flowers feature purplish veining and deep green markings. Parrot Tulip Negrita Parrot opens earlier than many other parrot types. With their exotic shape, color and design, these sensational tulips resemble their namesake tropical birds. Parrot tulips are the largest and most spectacular of all tulips. In mid to late spring, the 5" flowers bloom on 19-20" stems amid striking green foliage. Plant them in focal spots for a dazzling floral sensation...a decorator's delight! They're dramatic as cut flowers, too. For best results, plant tulip bulbs in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade.

Came up beautifully. However they are not even close to the color pictured. They are burgundy. NOT EVEN CLOSE to purple and they ruined my color theme. Never fully opened.
