Wayside Gardens Tulipa Parrot Tulip Bulbs
Best choice for gardeners seeking dramatic, late-spring floral displays.
These heirloom bulbs offer a moody, dramatic flair that standard spring flowers simply can't match. While their frilled, black-purple petals demand attention in any border, you’ll need to accept their fickle nature—they are best treated as a seasonal showstopper rather than a guaranteed perennial.
