The 'Marit' tulip variety belongs to the Darwin hybrid group, the most sought-after category for commercial forcing and landscape design. This time-tested variety occupies a niche of 'reliable players' whose reputation is built on predictability and stable flower stalk quality.

Agronomic Potential and Characteristics

Tall, sturdy stems make 'Marit' an benchmark option for cut flowers. The rich red color of the petals possesses a deep pigment that does not fade under direct sunlight, which is critical for field cultivation.

• Type: Darwin hybrid.
• Flowering time: Mid-season.
• Resistance: High immunity to powdery mildew and downy mildew.
• Habitus: Tall stem, powerful root system.

Darwin hybrid breeding is traditionally focused on adaptability to fluctuating spring temperatures. 'Marit' demonstrates excellent viability in unstable climate conditions, which minimizes the risks of crop loss due to pathogens affecting bulbous crops.

Market Positioning

For professional producers, 'Marit' is a tool for planning the flower pipeline. Thanks to its resistance to fungal diseases, the variety requires fewer fungicide treatments, reducing production costs. It is chosen for its combination of aesthetic appeal and biological robustness, relying on success proven over decades.
