Neutral junebugblack On May 8, 2010, junebugblack from Gadsden, AL (Zone 7b) wrote:

I would rate the species Tulip 'Little Beauty' neutral at best. I knew the flowers would be small, but they were smaller than I expected, and bloomed for a very short period of time. Kaufmanniana and greigii tulips are supposed to be some of the better tulips for the South, so I ordered 'Shakespeare', 'Red Riding Hood', 'Little Beauty', and 'Hearts Delight'. Of these four, 'Shakespeare' was by far the most showy and had very long-lasting brilliant red blooms. At the end of the blooming period, I actually pulled the others up and put them in the compost pile. I will order more 'Shapespeare', but must wait another year or two to see if they really do come back and bloom year after year in north Alabama.

This tulip is vigorous and indestructible, almost to the point of invasive. It's also gorgeous. I have a large planter with these that has to be thinned every 2-3 years, and I just plant all the extras out in my rocks/clay in front. They all come up, and they all bloom.
