Tulip King's Orange

Technical Profile of King's Orange

This Triumph tulip is a product of selective breeding between Darwin hybrids and early single tulips.

Flowering Architecture and Physiology

The key characteristic of this mid-season bloomer lies in its bud geometry. The goblet shape features high petal density, providing excellent resistance to lodging and physical stress from windy conditions. The orange pigment in the petal epidermis is synthesized consistently, maintaining color saturation even amidst the temperature fluctuations common to mid-spring.

• Stem Mechanics: The plant features a tall, rigid floral stem with high fiber density, preventing bending even when the heavy bud is saturated with moisture.
• Growth Dynamics: The variety exhibits a predictable lifecycle; the interval from vegetation to full bloom is consistent, which is critical for precision harvest scheduling.
• Root System: The bulb offers a high survival index, ensuring intensive micronutrient uptake from the soil during the early developmental stages.

King's Orange is optimized for intensive commercial production and mid-tier landscape design. Due to the combination of its tall stem and dense bud structure, the variety retains its marketability during transportation, making it a preferred choice for the floriculture sector.
