Sometimes it is not easy for me to get excited about a somewhat older Tulip, which I have been seeing for years. Not that I am tired of it, certainly not, it just starts to become too 'ordinary' when you see a flower for the umpteenth time.
That also applied a bit to Silver Parrot, since grower Huijg from Breezand introduced this Tulip in 1999 I have seen her several times every spring. The first time I saw her it was really WOW, what a beauty, and now I caught myself that the wow had faded considerably.
But actually, Silver Parrot is still a fantastically beautiful Tulip that shows a play of colours and flower shapes that you can hardly find in other Tulips.
Visitors to the Fluwel show garden, where we plant all the varieties from the Fluwel website every year, pointed it out to me. I had received some bulbs from Huijg to try and the reactions were overwhelming. The many visitors and Fluwel customers who came to see it were wildly enthusiastic about the Silver Parrot.
In full bloom she is also a real beauty and the silver edge along her leaves makes her shine even more. Silver Parrot, a somewhat older but still beautiful Tulip.

Planting and caring for tulip bulbs
Plant tulip bulbs in autumn in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Leave around 8 to 10 cm between the bulbs.
Plant tulips in groups for a colourful and natural effect. They are also ideal for containers and make wonderful cut flowers. Allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy.
Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for tulip bulbs.
You can order tulip bulbs from us from early spring onwards for the following planting season. We deliver the bulbs in autumn so they arrive at the right time for planting.
Flowering time varies by variety. By combining early, mid-season and late-flowering tulips, you can enjoy tulips in bloom for much of the spring.
That depends on the effect you want to create. In our range, you can choose from shorter and taller tulips, cut-flower tulips, tulips for pots and a variety of tulip mixes.
We supply our tulips in the largest bulb size and with a flowering guarantee. High-quality bulbs give the tulip a strong starting point for growth and flowering.
It depends on the variety. Some tulips are reliable perennial bloomers and can perform well for several years, while others are mainly planted for their first spring display. Check the characteristics of the individual variety when choosing.
Yes. Combining early, mid-season and late-flowering varieties can extend the flowering period and bring colour to the garden throughout a larger part of spring.
