Why we LOVE parrot tulips
Parrot tulips are known for their expressive form — feathered edges, tonal variation, and a fluid form that evolves over time. They bring personality and depth to any arrangement, whether styled alone or paired with tonal tulip varieties. Their colour and texture make them a go-to for modern spaces and thoughtful, design-led gifting.

How to style
Style solo in a structured vase to spotlight their ruffled form
Pair with neutral, delicate stems
Choose a mid-height vase with a slightly wider neck to let them move naturally

For 25 stems, opt for our Royal Windsor Vase, Glazed Fluted Vase or Small Mayfair Vase
For 50 stems in our Wide Apothecary Vase or Wickstead Pot options

Your tulip care tips
- Trim 1–2cm from each stem and place in cold, clean water.
- Keep away from direct heat or sunlight to slow their natural bend.
- Refresh water daily for maximum vase life.
- Expect movement — tulips continue to grow after cutting.
- Please keep tulips away from pets and children as they are toxic and should not be consumed

Q&A

How long will my FLOWERBX tulips stay fresh?

FLOWERBX tulips typically last 5–7 days in a vase with proper care. Tulips continue to grow even after cutting, which means stems may gently bend or move toward light over time. Refresh the water every two days and trim stems slightly to keep them hydrated. For more advice, explore our Tulip Care Guide.

How do I care for my tulips?

Place your tulips in fresh, cool water as soon as they arrive. Trim the stems slightly before placing them in a vase and remove any leaves that fall below the waterline. Remember, tulips prefer cooler rooms away from direct sunlight or heat, and refresh the water every two days. Discover more tips in our Tulip Care Guide.

Which vase is best for a 25-stem tulip bouquet?

A medium-height vase with a supportive shape works best for 25 tulips. Tulips naturally continue growing in the vase, so a vessel that gently holds the stems together helps maintain balance. Our Glazed Fluted and Royal Windsor vases pair beautifully with tulip bouquets. Shop our full vase collection to choose your favourite.

Can I get same-day delivery for tulips in London?

Yes, we offer same-day tulip delivery in London for eligible orders placed before the daily cut-off. Our London team prepares each bouquet to order so the stems arrive fresh and ready to display.

When are Parrot tulips in season?

Parrot Tulips are typically in season from late winter through early spring. Their arrival marks one of the first signals of the season changing, bringing colour and freshness after the colder months. At FLOWERBX, we source tulips during their natural peak for the best quality. Discover more in our seasonal flower guide.

Are these tulips safe for cats and dogs?

Tulips are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. If you have pets at home, we recommend placing bouquets somewhere out of their reach. The flowers are safe to enjoy in the home when styled thoughtfully. Discover our pet-friendly range of flowers here.

What occasions are these tulips best for?

Parrot tulips are ideal for bold seasonal arrangements and statement gifting. Their distinctive petals and vibrant colour variations make them perfect for spring celebrations or styling at home. They work beautifully in single arrangements, thanks to their unique beauty. Discover more inspiration in our full Tulip Collection.

What makes Parrot Tulips different from standard tulips?

Parrot tulips are known for their dramatically ruffled and feathered petals. Their unique shape creates a more expressive look than classic tulips, in colours that often appear streaked or multi-tonal, which adds visual interest to arrangements. Explore our Tulip Collection to see the full edit.

Do Parrot Tulips need any special care?

Parrot tulips require the same simple care as other tulip varieties. Trim the stems slightly, place them in fresh water and refresh the water every two days. Remember, keeping the bouquet in a cool space helps extend vase life. See our Tulip Care Guide for more details.

Are Parrot Tulips a more dramatic tulip choice?

Yes, Parrot tulips are one of the most distinctive tulip varieties. Their textured petals and vibrant colour patterns create a striking display even in simple arrangements, and they are often chosen for statement spring bouquets. Browse our full Tulip Collection to explore more varieties.
