Tulip ‘Flamingo Queen’ | Parrot Tulip

Exotic, dramatic, and truly unforgettable, Tulipa 'Flamingo Queen' is one of the most spectacular Parrot tulips for luxurious spring gardens and floral arrangements. Admired for its enormous ruffled blooms and elegant flamingo-pink colouring, this rare beauty brings movement, texture, and artistic charm to every planting.

The large feathered flowers open in soft rose-pink shades adorned with darker pink flames and delicate striations. As the blooms mature, the colour gently softens into lighter pastel tones, while occasional green markings and a creamy ivory-yellow base add even more depth and uniqueness. The beautifully scalloped and frilled petal edges create the signature exotic appearance Parrot tulips are loved for.

Flowering in late spring on tall strong stems reaching approximately 45 cm, Tulip ‘Flamingo Queen’ combines dramatic beauty with excellent garden performance. Its sturdy stems support the oversized blooms beautifully, making this variety ideal for borders, luxury containers, and professional cut flower production.

An exceptionally elegant tulip for romantic gardens and floral design work, ‘Flamingo Queen’ pairs beautifully with Tulip ‘Blue Diamond’, ‘Silver Parrot’, creamy whites, dusty pinks, and fresh spring greens.
