Rococo

An extravagant accent for the spring garden

Rococo is not just a tulip; it is a bold representative of the parrot class that instantly draws the eye with its atypical geometry. Unlike strict classical varieties, its petals resemble the ruffled wings of an exotic bird: a deep red color combined with carved, jagged edges creates an effect of lush, almost chaotic volume.

Why choose this particular variety

The main trump card of Rococo is its resilience. Most parrot tulips are considered capricious primadonnas requiring greenhouse-like conditions. However, this hybrid successfully resists common bulb diseases, which is a rarity for such highly decorative forms:

• High immunity to Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt.
• Resistance to cladosporiosis and viral pathogens that often ruin decorative plantings.

Despite its spectacular appearance, the plant remains low-growing, making it an ideal tool for landscape design. It will not get lost in a lush mixed border and will not be broken by spring wind gusts, unlike its tall-growing counterparts.

Cultivation and application specifics

This variety belongs to the mid-season blooming group, allowing it to be successfully combined with early bulbs and perennials. Its low stature allows Rococo to be planted in the foreground of flower beds or even in containers, where it looks most advantageous. However, it should be noted that the full beauty of parrot tulips is revealed only in windless, sheltered places—the carved petals are quite fragile.

Who is this variety for? For those who value the aesthetics of "Impressionist-style gardens" and want to achieve a striking result without endless fungicide treatments. Rococo is the perfect balance between capricious beauty and practical durability.
