Dwarf Tulipa

Many of Mark's comments mirror my feelings as well. The large showy
tulips approach garish costumes at times and they frequently dwindle. I
have planted and kept a number of species tulips that have persisted and
flower regularly every year. My favorite at the moment is Tulipa
ferganica followed closely by Tulipa acuminata.
Others that have done well:
T. altaica
T. aucheriana
T. bakeri
T. clusiana
T. humilis
T. tarda
T. urumiensis
Planted in normal garden soil with a handful of grit added below each bulb.
