The Apricot Parrot is a premier choice for growers seeking to provide designers with a sense of baroque opulence in their spring offerings. This variety is defined by its massive, wildly undulating petals that feature heavy fringing and a distinctively twisted, plume-like architecture. Unlike standard tulips, its blooms possess a leathery, durable texture that holds up exceptionally well under refrigeration, while its pliant stems allow for the natural, sweeping curves highly sought after in organic floral installations. As a late-season bloomer, it extends the harvest window with a high-impact, sculptural presence that transforms as it matures, offering a dynamic and evolving display in the vase.
