Weedy Tulips - T. clusiana

Hi Fred,

	Thanks. I’ve grown T. clusiana for years and although it is described as stoloiferous and you mention this, it has remained fairly stead fast in my garden. I read on the web some where that there are both stoloniferous and non-stoloniferous types of the species. Dutch growers prefer the non-stoloniferous selections as they are easier to control in the fields.  My ‘Lady Jane’ seems to be non-stoloniferous. I’ve had it for years and like it a lot, but it does not run for me. 

	T. saxatilis is also mentioned as stoloniferous, but I have grown this and it reamins in a tight clump. Perhaps there are other more wandering selections.

	and ps: Hope your snow melts sooner than later. You are way behind on enjoying spring. Think warm sunny April.

		Thanks		Jim W.
