How to Landscape With Golden Tulips

Golden tulips have a beautiful orange-red color that complements any landscape. Tulips are delicate-looking flowers that sprout up from bulbs every spring to fill your garden with vibrant colors. When planting tulips, it's best to group them together for a lush, colorful area in the yard. Pair golden tulips with red or pink tulips for a stunning combination, or contrast the tulip with other varieties of flowers. Tulips can be used in a variety of locations, from along a walkway or driveway to a flowerbed close to the home.

Instructions

    • 1

      Select an area of the yard that receives full sun or partial shade. The soil must be well-drained in order for tulips to thrive.

    • 2

      Pick out different-colored flowers to pair with the golden tulips, or group a large number of the golden variety together. Since gold is a warm-toned color, you can pair it with other warm colors, such as yellow or red, for a vibrant look or choose cool-toned colors, such as blue or purple, for a calming contrast.

      Plant golden tulips along walkways or driveways to act as a border. Contrast the look of tulips with other colorful flowers, such as pansy, calibrachoa or iris in colors such as purple, blue, pink or deep red. For a cohesive look, bunch golden tulips together, or pair with red, pink, purple or white for an eye-catching palette.

      Contrast the color of the home by planting golden tulips in a flowerbed along the foundation. The golden color will brighten up a darker exterior color palette and complement any color trim.

      Add golden tulips to containers and place up porch steps or around a patio to brighten up the entryway. Place the containers around other features in the yard, such as a swimming pool, outdoor entertaining area or deck, to incorporate color into any part of the landscape.
