Tulip Tomar

A peony-like statement in your garden

The 'Tomar' tulip variety firmly claims its place among late-blooming plants, capturing attention with its dense, peony-like structure. Unlike standard cup-shaped tulips, this hybrid forms heavy, fully double blooms of intense red that maintain their decorative appeal even under unpredictable spring weather.

Resistance to biological threats

The key advantage of 'Tomar' lies in its genetic resistance to a complex of diseases that often devastate decorative plantings. Breeders have focused on immunity to:

• Fusarium wilt, which typically affects bulbs in damp soil;
• Anthracnose, which damages foliage quality;
• Powdery mildew, common in dense plantings.

This makes the variety suitable not only for professional florists but also for home gardeners who prefer not to spend all their time on prophylactic fungicide treatments.

Cultivation specifics

With an average flower stem height, 'Tomar' fits perfectly into the mid-section of a flowerbed. Its sturdy stems do not require staking, distinguishing it from many tall double-flowered analogs prone to lodging after rain. Despite its mid-season blooming window, it often stays in the budding phase longer than many early varieties, creating a visual bridge between spring and summer plantings.

It is important to note: 'Tomar' requires quality drainage. Despite its resistance to fungal infections, stagnant moisture in the root zone remains a critical factor. It is an excellent choice for landscape designs requiring a vibrant, deep red splash with high plant vigor.
