Karlskrona

Technical Specifications of the 'Karlskrona' Cultivar

The 'Karlskrona' tulip belongs to the Triumph class, which dictates its key structural advantage: a rigid, upright stem and a goblet-shaped flower capable of maintaining its geometry even under gusty winds and heavy rainfall. This is the result of selective breeding focused on creating a high-density, professional-grade hybrid.

Biological Defense and Immunity

The hybrid's genetic code includes increased resistance to pathogens critical for bulbous crops:

• Fusarium Wilt: due to the modification of cell sap composition, the bulb successfully resists penetration by Fusarium fungi.
• Clubroot and Vascular Bacteriosis: genetic resilience allows for planting in areas with intensive crop rotation, where the soil profile is often overloaded with specific bacterial infections.

Visual and Functional Profile

The petal coloration is a precise combination of red and white pigments. Technically, this represents a stable contrast: the white base emphasizes the intensity of the red pigment without fading under direct ultraviolet exposure. The average plant height simplifies maintenance and minimizes the risk of lodging, making it highly effective for both landscape design and commercial cut flower production.

The medium flowering time makes 'Karlskrona' a versatile tool in professional horticulture: the variety smoothly transitions between early and late blooms, ensuring a continuous decorative effect throughout the season.
