Pre-Chilled Negrita Parrot Tulip Bulbs for Indoor Forcing, Purple, 5 Bulbs
$29.90
About This
- Rich Violet-Purple Flowers: Negrita Parrot produces dramatic deep purple blossoms with reddish undertones, subtle green markings, and striking natural color variation. Its saturated petals create sophisticated contrast against green foliage in indoor flowerpots, windowsill displays, and seasonal arrangements.
- Dramatic Feathered Petals: This Parrot variety develops curled, wavy, and irregularly ruffled petal edges rather than ordinary smooth tulip cups. The richly textured flowers create a distinctive ornamental appearance, with outdoor plants typically reaching approximately 18–20 inches depending on growing conditions.
- Pre-Chilled For Indoor Forcing: Tulip bulbs naturally require a prolonged cold period to prepare for flowering. These bulbs have already received their initial chilling treatment, reducing advance preparation for indoor growing. Additional cool rooting may still be necessary after planting.
- Container Planting And Rooting: Position bulbs pointed ends upward in a clean pot with drainage and well-draining soil. Arrange them close together without touching, water thoroughly, and allow strong roots to develop in cool conditions before gradually transitioning the plants to brighter indoor light.
- Bright Light And Flower Care: After rooting, grow near a bright window in a cool room around 60–65°F. Keep soil evenly moist without saturation, rotate containers occasionally for balanced upright growth, and protect the large feathered blooms from excessive indoor warmth.
