Black Star

Technical Profile of the Black Star Variety

The Triumph class tulip Black Star is the product of breeding focused on perianth density and pathogen resistance. Professionals prefer this variety for commercial forcing due to its predictable stem architecture and a consistent vegetation cycle.

Biological Resilience as a Foundation for Reliability

The key engineering advantage of Black Star is its genetically embedded tolerance to a complex of fungal and viral diseases. Its high resistance to Fusarium reduces post-harvest losses during storage and transit. Protection against Alternaria minimizes the risk of foliage damage in high-humidity greenhouse environments, while its immunity to the Tobacco Mosaic Virus ensures pure color intensity without unwanted streaking or petal deformation.

Architecture and Flowering Aesthetics

• Class: Triumph. Characterized by a robust, upright peduncle that supports large buds even under low-light conditions.
• Color Palette: A deep, saturated hue ranging from dark red to a pronounced purple (nearly black), depending on the bud opening stage.
• Dimensions: A medium-height crop, which optimizes planting density in crates and reduces logistics costs.
• Period: Mid-season flowering, fitting perfectly into the main supply flow for spring holidays.

Choosing Black Star is a practical decision based on the balance between aesthetic appeal and commercial endurance. It is an essential tool for growers prioritizing stable marketable yields with minimal fungicide application costs.
