Amana edulis

Dear Jane - Interesting parallel with Tulipa sylvestris here.
In shade and 'decent' (not great) soil it forms a mat of single leaves and spreads like crazy. Never blooms. Hundreds of small single grassy leaves.
In hot sun it get 4-5 x larger, multiple leaves and has very nice bright yellow flowers. Spreads a bit, but under control.
Sounds very similar to your situation. Want to trade weedy tulips? Best Jim W.

Around 15 years ago I bought 3 bulbs of Amana edulis (syn. Tulipa
edulis), and 2 years ago I planted it (with some increase) into the
open garden. Since then it has spread a bit, apparently by stolons.
In all these years it has never flowered.
Do any of you grow it? And more to the point, have any of you
flowered it? I wonder if it requires a hotter summer than it gets here.
