Tulip 'Rococo'

2L Plant

Tulip ‘Rococo’ is a parrot tulip that won the Japan Bulb of the Year Award in 2003 with its oversized carmine petals edged fire red and looking like parrot feathers. As its large flower is exposed to the sun over time, it opens so wide that it almost flattens out, revealing its brilliant colors. It is easy to grow and a welcome addition to beds, borders, and containers. Although the stems of Parrot tulips are fairly strong, the great size of their flowers means that it is best to plant them in a sheltered spot in the garden.

2L (2 Litres) refers to the volume of the pot, the roots are almost 4 times the size of a 9cm pot. The size of the plant can vary greatly, most will be between 30-60cm tall unless they are naturally low growing plants or if you are buying herbaceous plants in winter.

Bulbs are a form of dormant plant which when planted in the correct conditions produce a full plant over time. Plants which naturally survive as bulbs will usually die down into the ground when their season is finished in order to store their energy to return the following year.
