Van Engelen Blushing Parrot Tulip

The blooms begin with a pale yellow base featuring purple-crimson and green scalloped edges. As the season progresses, these colors shift, eventually maturing into a sophisticated white flower with distinct magenta-rose margins.

Yes, their 18-inch height makes them excellent candidates for containers. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 6-8 inch planting depth.

These tulips perform best in full to partial sun. For the most vibrant color development and sturdy stems, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

These bulbs are rated for USDA Hardiness Zones 4-7. If you live in a warmer climate (Zone 8 or higher), these tulips may struggle to return year after year, as they require a period of winter chilling to bloom properly.

For the best visual impact and to ensure proper airflow, space the bulbs 6 inches apart. This spacing allows the ruffled, feathered blooms enough room to fully open without crowding.

You can expect these to bloom in May. Because they are a parrot variety, they typically bloom in the mid-to-late spring season.
