Plant Negrita Parrot Tulip bulbs in fall, approximately 6-8 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart, with pointed ends facing upward. They thrive in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and prefer full sun to partial shade locations. Water after planting to settle the soil, but avoid overwatering as tulips dislike wet conditions. Apply low-nitrogen fertilizer when foliage emerges in spring. These tulips bloom in late spring, providing a spectacular finale to the spring bulb season.
