Dear Mary Sue et al.: I hesitate to comment on adaptability of the tulips I sell to all areas across the country. Species tulips are a popular part of my bulb brokering of fall bulbs. I carried a couple dozen species and some of their hybrids (or selections) last fall and the list will probably have a handful more next season. I can say these things, though. It is a good rule of thumb to expect most species tulips to do well up through zone 8. Many multiply well by bulb division, creating new generations of flowering bulbs year after year. I've only planted about half a dozen or so species, but they appear to do well for me. I got to take some good (I think) photos of some of these last year which can be seen in my gallery. I'm sorry this isn't more helpful. Except for my fall special order list, which is only available in May, I don't carry any hybrid tulips, and it is not my practice to use them in the landscape; personal preference (please, no hard feelings anybody).
