Info that I read online said parrot-type tulips weren't great perennializers, so I just passed that on. Certainly in the right climate, with dry soil in summer, many tulips will return for a few years. Mine are all mixed in with perennials that need water all summer, so I don't have perfect conditions for repeat performers.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-40458728094705452212011-06-09T12:07:58.914-07:002011-06-09T12:07:58.914-07:00Great job following their development!

Asking because it our climate, which is not prime for tulips in general, the parrot tulips have lasted very well in my friend's garden. <br /><br />Curious... I guess I will not suggested them to others without question, for lasting perennially that is. They are worth the money for their prettiness in my opinion! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful eye candy,<br />JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-3916590795877464052011-06-09T09:16:44.291-07:002011-06-09T09:16:44.291-07:00Fantastic pictures!
