Description
One of the earliest-flowering of the Tulipa species, this is a cool-growing alpine plant with up to four, golden yellow, fragrant starry flowers. It is a dwarf species making its flowers on a 10 cm high stem. The exterior is shaded with a trace of orange on a silvery ground.
Excellent in a pot but tough enough to survive a choice garden spot, where it does not need annual lifting. Scarce. Tajikistan, C. Asia.
