| Is there a type of tulip that produces more than one flower or bloom per bulb and is lower to the ground than the traditional tall-stemmed-one-flower variety? Also, what is a good variety that would grow in Zone 4? |
| Most tulips are single bloomers, but there is a small group of multiple bloomers sometimes called bunch-flowering. Some low growers in that group include the following: Tulipa praestans 'Fusilier' with scarlet red blooms on 10-inch stems. Tulipa praestans 'Unicum' has reddish/orange and white blooms and reaches about 8 inches. 'Toronto' and 'Georgette' are two other multi-flowering varieties. Greigii hybrids are dwarf tulips, using growing 8-14 inches tall. There are many to choose from and they do well in northern climates such as yours. Dutch Gardens has a wide variety of tulips.
