Whichever group, this is a lovely, lasting tulip; holding its blossom sheathed in the pointed leaves for a long while before rising high above the foliage. Yokohama performed very well for us in the last few years. One of the first to bloom, the blossoms tend to stay hidden in the leaves for a long while, protecting the petals. Very longlasting, rich deep yellow color.
