Dear Steve;
I've heard the same things and after years of planting NARGS
seed of T. sprengeri I have perhaps 3 or 4 seedlings struggling
along. I do have a slightly "weedy" Tulip, however, and I'll send
you bulbs some come dormancy- Tulipa sylvestris. This is a highly
stoloniferous shade loving yellow flowering tulip. It tends to make a
lot of foliage that doesn't bloom, but enough flowers to make it
appreciated.
I suspect there are not a lot of shade loving stoloniferous
tulips around.
And I'll take a handful or two of those unwanted T. sprengeri
bulbs too.
Best Jim W.
