'Golden Niphetos' tulip (Tulipa 'Golden Niphetos') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. The flowers open in deep sulphur and primrose yellow from early to late spring. Plants stand about 26 inches tall, so they make good cut stems.
Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Honey Gold peony, and Obedient plant.
