For those who are interested in trying various named hybrids, the new McClure and Zimmerman spring bulb catalog just arrived and on the back cover this year they are featuring a good number of different clones. This is the most I've ever seen offered by one company in the U.S. They are offering the following clones: Alcazar, Bressingham, First Sunrise, Green Jade, Ice Queen, Little Maid, Nancy's Red, Percy's Pride, Royal Standard, Shining Sceptre and Vanilla, and claim they're hardy in USDA zones 5-8.
