  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Nov 11, 2011 9:43 PM concerning plant:
    Plant's stature is less (8 to 10") than the other double flowered Early Tulips (to 14").
    Short, compact, and fully double.
    Easy to force. 5 easily fit into 6" pot. Discarded after forced. Kind of like a miniature tulip.
