We love the selection of bulbs available from A.D.R. The variety is great, the quality is excellent and the price is fair. However, the best part of working with A.D.R is the customer service from Chris, Walter and all of the team. They go out of their way to make sure ours needs are met.

Tulipa Parrot 'Cabanna'

Tulip

Tulip ‘Cabanna’ is a Parrot Tulip known for its large, extravagantly ruffled blooms and bold, tropical coloration. The flowers open in a striking blend of creamy yellow and soft primrose, overlaid with dramatic green flames and deeply feathered, scalloped edges that twist and curl as the blooms mature. Hints of blush‑pink may appear in warm weather, adding even more dimension to its exotic look. Strong stems reach 18 to 22 inches, supporting blooms that can span up to 6 inches across, giving the variety a lush, sculptural presence in the late‑spring garden.

Blooming in late spring, it thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, and statement‑making cut arrangements.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Tulipa Parrot 'Cabanna'

Planting: Plant in fall when soil temperatures drop below 55°F. Set bulbs 6–8 inches deep, pointed end up. Choose a sunny, sheltered location to protect their large, irregular blooms from strong wind and spring storms.
Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart. For full visual impact, plant 10 or more together—these tulips shine in bold, theatrical groupings.
Light: Full sun enhances color intensity and stem strength. Though tolerant of light shade, stronger light preserves bloom structure and vivid contrast.
Soil: Use well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6–7). Poor drainage increases risk of rot—especially for these heavy-headed, late-season types.
Watering: Water after planting to settle soil. In spring, water only during dry periods—excess moisture can weaken stems and damage blooms.
Temperature & Dormancy: Requires 12–16 weeks of cold (below 50°F) to root and initiate flowering.
Fertilization: Apply balanced bulb fertilizer at planting and again in early spring to support strong stems and petal development.
Pests: Squirrels may disturb bulbs—protect with mulch or mesh. Deer will eat buds and foliage, especially in early spring—use repellents or fencing in high-pressure areas.
Disease: To prevent Botrytis (Tulip Fire), plant only healthy, firm bulbs in sunny, airy beds. Avoid overhead watering. Remove and destroy any infected foliage—never compost. Rotate sites annually and avoid replanting in affected areas for three years.
