Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall or early winter before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish a strong root system before their mid-to-late spring bloom.
Plant the bulbs at a depth of 5 inches. A good rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth roughly three times the height of the bulb itself.
Yes, they perform beautifully in containers. Ensure your pots have adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix to support their 18-inch height.
Yes, these tulips are not deer resistant. If you live in an area with high deer activity, you may want to plant them in a fenced area or use protective deterrents.
No, White Parrot tulips are not considered naturalizing. For the most impressive display, most gardeners treat them as annuals and replant fresh, top-sized bulbs each fall.
Absolutely. Their unique, ruffled petals and sturdy stems make them an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements, providing a sophisticated look for your home.
