Spring Pearl

Technical specifications of the Spring Pearl cultivar

The Fosteriana tulip Spring Pearl is a product of advanced selection, aimed at combining early vegetation periods with high resistance to pathogens. Unlike wild botanical species, this hybrid features a balanced metabolism, allowing for robust development during the low-temperature conditions of early spring.

Biological protection and resilience

The primary advantage of this cultivar is its genetically encoded resistance to a complex of fungal diseases. In practical terms, this minimizes the need for heavy fungicide applications:

• Downy mildew: the dense cuticle of the leaves inhibits the penetration of zoospores into the epidermal tissue.
• Powdery mildew: the cultivar exhibits high tolerance, maintaining foliage health even under high atmospheric humidity.
• Root rot: the root system is adapted to early-season soil moisture saturation, which is critical for preventing lodging and loss of planting material.

Morphology and blooming

Spring Pearl demonstrates a medium height, which imparts increased structural rigidity to the stem. In windy spring weather, this significantly reduces the risk of peduncle damage. The pink hue of the petals is due to a high concentration of anthocyanins, which also act as an anti-stress filter, shielding the delicate flower tissues from frost. For commercial cultivation, the cultivar offers a predictable budding cycle, enabling precise planning for harvest spikes.
