Oviedo

Elegance in Every Petal: Why Oviedo Captures Gardens

The Oviedo tulip is a standout among fringed varieties, distinguishing itself from classic goblet-shaped tulips with its delicate, needle-like edges. As a mid-season bloomer, it turns any spring flowerbed into a sophisticated display. The combination of its soft pink center and dazzling white "icy" fringe makes it instantly recognizable.

Strengths and Resilience

The main advantage of this variety is its reliability for the grower. Unlike many exotic hybrids, Oviedo possesses a notable resistance to fusarium wilt. This significantly simplifies cultivation and minimizes the risk of losing bulbs in damp soil or during unpredictable spring weather.

• Aesthetics: The dual-tone coloration with a high-contrast fringe adds density and visual volume to the blooms.
• Hardiness: High resistance to fungal pathogens, particularly fusarium, is a significant benefit for a decorative bulb.
• Structure: With its medium stem height, this variety is perfect for creating mid-tier levels in professional landscape designs.

Who is this tulip for?

Oviedo is an excellent choice for both professional landscape designers and gardening enthusiasts. Thanks to its mid-season blooming period, it perfectly bridges the gap between early and late varieties. It is frequently selected for cut flower production: the density of the petals and the sturdiness of the stem allow bouquets to retain their decorative appeal in a vase much longer than most smooth-petaled alternatives. However, keep in mind that like any fringed variety, it requires shelter from strong winds that could damage the delicate "fringe" on the petal edges.
