Return rate not great but I still had a few in 2013. As Tulip Ice cream is a Division 11 Double Late (bedding type) so your best bet to get more is to follow this advice from the Royal Horticultural Society Quoting:Encouraging re-flowering: *I do not lift our tulips and plant many in beds that are not watered much as they like it dry and hot in the summer, so we do get many to come back for years in those particular beds. However, we always plant more each year of many favorites. We do plant as many of the Darwin and any of the species types where the return rate is more reliable. I will look later to see if I have a shot of Tulipa Ice Cream. Patti |
