Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

The Golden Apeldoorn Tulip (Tulipa 'Golden Apeldoorn') is as resilient as it is exquisite. This Darwin Hybrid is one of the strongest tulips on the market, and its bloom size is unbelievable. For those Greek mythology fans out there - these large, glowing blooms are as stunning as a Golden Appledoorn! And for the non-mythology buffs, these blooms are so bright, you'll definitely want to use them to distract any strong huntress you find yourself racing against in the woods.
As mid-spring arrives, so does the sunshine, and the Golden Apeldoorn's luminous beauty multiplies the warmth and wonder of the season. This tall spring-flowering Tulip is one of the most pristine shades of yellow and one of the first to arrive. Its silky sheen reflects the sunshine for a radiant glow, and its petals tuck neatly toward the center for that classic Tulip form.
Nothing can get these balloon-sized blooms down! The Golden Apeldoorn has some of the strongest stems of any Tulip! Thriving throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 7, these spring ephemerals can reach a fantastic height of 20-22 inches in height.
Planting and Application:
As a Darwin Hybrid, the Golden Apeldoorn offers superior naturalizing, so give them plenty of room to do so. After a few years, these bulbs politely colonize areas with their glowing blooms. Plant in rows and groupings for maximum show. But these plants also lend their showy blooms to the container garden and planters large and small!
Use these impressive blooms as stunning cut flowers or as a blast of gold in your garden. The Golden Apeldoorn Tulip offers a blast of color and style. Let it liven up your garden and floral arrangements! Pollinators are drawn to these blooms as well, plus curious neighbors coming to see how you got your spring flowers to grow some large!

- Great In Containers, Forced Indoors & Cut Flowers

#ProPlantTips for Care:
They also love the sunshine, so full-sun regions of your landscape are ideal for planting your Golden Apeldoorns. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy. Deadhead after flowers fade, but let the leaves remain so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Not only is it strong, but it also has incredible endurance. Its blooms endure through spring showers and days of sunshine. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results.
- Full Sun For Strongest Growth
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Mounds After Leaves Yellow
- Deer Seldom Bother Them
Prepare to find yourself distracted by its vibrant and voluminous blooms! Order your own Apeldoorn Tulips here at Nature Hills! We will ship your bulbs based on the correct planting time for your area.
