Description
Technical Profile of the 'Flaming Star' Tulipa greigii
The 'Flaming Star' cultivar belongs to the Tulipa greigii group, characterized by a specific genetic architecture that combines early-to-mid season vegetation with robust resistance to soil-borne pathogens. Biologically, it is a mid-height plant, making it an excellent candidate for exposed or windy landscapes where taller varieties often suffer from stem lodging.
Phytopathological Resilience
The core strength of this variety is its inherent resistance to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt. In intensive agricultural settings where soil often serves as an inoculum reservoir, 'Flaming Star' significantly reduces the risk of bulb loss. This resilience is achieved through a combination of dense tunic layers on the bulb and specific root exudate chemistry that inhibits colonization by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum.
Visual Architecture and Utility
The aesthetic profile of the cultivar is defined by a bicolored scheme: a dominant red petal base complemented by sharp cream-colored markings. This color stability is the result of selective breeding to stabilize pigments against UV degradation during prolonged exposure. The plant’s mid-height stature facilitates efficient nutrient translocation from the root system to the flower bud, ensuring the stem maintains vertical integrity even under heavy precipitation.
