"Golden Springtime" is a historic and exceptionally beautiful tulip variety belonging to the Darwin Hybrid group. It was developed by the renowned Dutch breeder D. Lefeber and registered in 1957. Gardeners prize this variety for its impressive size, its pure, rich, warm hue, and the classic shape of its blooms.
The flower features a very deep, rich yellow-orange (golden) hue. The transition of shades is described as a soft gradient, moving from peach to apricot, with delicate pink or red streaks on the petals. Currently, it is considered one of the darkest and most richly toned yellow tulips among the Darwin hybrid varieties.
Strong, wind-resistant flower stalks grow to a height of 60–65 cm (about 26 inches), making this variety ideal for cutting and for use as an accent in the background of flower beds.
Like all Darwin hybrids, ‘Golden Springtime’ is characterized by high vigor, a good rate of propagation, and resistance to the tulip breaking virus. The bulbs should be planted outdoors in the autumn (September–October) in a sunny, well-drained location sheltered from strong winds. This variety looks magnificent in mass landscape plantings and remains fresh for a long time when used in spring bouquets.
