Kingston

Ease of Cultivation and Floral Aesthetics

The 'Kingston' tulip is the preferred choice for growers who prioritize a balance between predictable agronomic performance and market-ready aesthetics. As a mid-season flowering variety, it requires minimal intervention when planted correctly, making it a reliable asset for planning your spring sales cycle.

Pathogen Resistance

The primary advantage of this hybrid is its innate resilience to common bulb diseases. By incorporating 'Kingston' into your rotation, you significantly reduce fungicide costs; the variety demonstrates high resistance to alternaria, anthracnose, and fusarium wilt. This simplifies maintenance and minimizes material loss during both storage and forcing stages.

Technical Specifications

• Stem height: Medium; provides excellent resistance to lodging, even in adverse spring weather conditions.
• Color profile: A vibrant pink shade that remains highly sought after in the fresh-cut flower market.
• Growth cycle: Mid-season blooming, allowing for efficient scheduling between early and late hybrids.

Managing a 'Kingston' crop requires no specialized techniques—a standard regimen of irrigation and fertilization consistently produces uniform, high-quality blooms. The low susceptibility to bulb decay reduces the labor costs associated with sorting and discarding damaged material, directly improving the profitability of your operation.
