Not having ever grown I. reticulata, I have no definitive answer.
But I do know that when the first tulips emerge here, the bunnies are
starved for something green, and they chew off the leaves as well as
sometimes the buds. Since they do not like veggies when dusted with
my insecticide powder, I gave the tulips a shot of that today in
hopes that they'll survive the rascally rabbit rampage! Maybe this
is the reticulata problem, too. If so, dust them!
