The Tulip 'Yellow Emperor', or 'Candela', 'Tulipa fosteriana', is a fall planted bulb. The golden yellow flowers create in aura of warmth and cheer in a mass planting. The exquisitely shaped blooms are elegant in their simplicity. They are borne on graceful, sturdy stems. Plant in drifts for a bold display. These tulips bloom in early spring for a 3 week period.
For the best effects, plant the bulbs in clusters of 5 to 15 bulbs of one variety, or scatter clusters throughout the garden or flower border. Tulips do best in well-drained soil. It is advisable not to plant tulips in the same location in the garden year after year. If possible, plant in a somewhat sheltered location. Tulips are excellent for mass planting, rock gardens, containers, cut flowers, and borders.
