Tulips that come back?

I wonder what peoples' experiences are with repeat flowering tulips, and which varieties reliably come back?

I read mixed opinions with regards to this. Some say the species tulips live longer. Some say its more to do with the soil than the tulip variety.

I have some red ones (Darwin I think) that flower every year, along with some frilly Parrot ones that reliably come back.

I'm all for low maintenance. I like to plant and leave, rather than dig up and store, or make planting a necessary annual job.

 

JParker's Tulipa reducedtoclear comes back every year in neat bags In my clay soil these guys are annual so cheapies it is.

I'm trialling (again) small botanical tulips on a south facing slight slope, sitting on a sand bed... fingers crossed.

 

I have Tulip "Queen of the Night" and "White Triumphator" that come up regularly in the front garden, but never in exactly the same place and not as large as the first year (decades ago). Queen of Sheba hung around for a few years and then disappeared.
I had a number of species tulips in a sunny well drained bed for quite a long time, but they disappeared after a very wet autumn/winter a few years ago.
Tulipa saxatilis does quite well from year to year, but again wanders about a bit.

 

I've had some that have been coming back for over 40 yrs, not sure what they are but they do multiply, red and yellow.
