Stoloniferous Tulips

I think that this feature varies between forms of species and also depends
a little on cultural conditions. Growing many species of tulip in pots I am
very aware of the 'droppers which they produce....  Tulips such as T
vvedenskyi can put themselves a long way from where they started but are
not particularly prolific in terms of stolons producing multiple offsetts.
I believe T stapfii may have this characteristic though... the form I grow
increases steadily and may be due in part to stolons. I have two very
distinct forms of T cretensis. The small pink one is slow to increase but
the larger white form (which I have not had so long), is said to be
stoloniferous.
