Yes. Tulips can be propagated from true seeds, but seed-grown plants develop much more slowly than bulb-grown plants. They may take several years to flower, and their flower characteristics can differ from the parent plant.
Many tulip species require a period of cold conditions to break seed dormancy and support germination. The exact treatment varies by species, so follow the seed supplier's instructions before sowing.
Tulips grown from seeds commonly need several growing seasons to develop flowering-size bulbs. Depending on the species and growing conditions, flowering may take approximately 3–7 years or longer.
