I planted 6 ‘Little Beauty’ species tulips in the front of one of my daylily beds in the fall of 2008. This year when they bloomed I was pleased to see that they have already started naturalizing.
I like species tulips because they return year after year without fail. The critters don’t seem to be interested in munching on them, and the foliage dies back quickly after they bloom. They are so small that it’s easy to interplant them with perennials.
