Tulipa tarda, here, produces thousands of seedlings, like T. clusiana here, but they flower within a couple of years.
I may be totally oblivious, but not one of my tulips every produces viable seed and spreads that way. My climate is very severe in summer and winter. I have tried untold hundreds of seed of T. sprengeri without a single sprout showing up in a vafriety of seed trials.
None of my stoloniferous tulips sets seeds, none of my non-stoloniferous tulips set seed. Not tarda, not clusiana (or whatever I have), not nuttin’. More weeds!! Jim
