    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Only two parrot tulips from the 1600s survive, and you can grow this one! The jagged, billowing petals of this fabulous relic are a deep, fiery red embellished here and there with swirling brushstrokes of gold, green, and maroon. Tiny spurs and horns add to its wild allure. Its name is French (hence no "D" in Amiral), suggesting it got its start in quirky, flower-loving Flanders. (For 18th- and 19th-century parrots, see 'Cafe Brun', 'Markgraaf van Baden', and 'Perfecta'.) Zones 4b-7a(7bWC), from the Hortus Bulborum.
