What customers say
The 'Mysterious Parrot' tulip garners strong positive sentiment centered on its exceptional aesthetic appeal. Customers consistently praise the dramatic, deep purple, fringed petals, calling successful blooms stunning centerpieces. When these specialty bulbs thrive, they confirm the premium quality through robust size and intense color. However, a key theme is performance variability. Some buyers report bulbs failing to sprout or bloom as advertised, leading to frustration, particularly given the higher price. Experienced gardeners often rate this variety higher, viewing it as a worthwhile investment. Overall, while the unpredictability slightly tempers satisfaction, the spectacular results when successful make this a highly desirable garden feature.
