West Frisia

Flowering Architecture and Physiology

The 'West Frisia' tulip is a genetically stable hybrid belonging to the Late Double tulip group. Its biological value lies in the dense, multi-petaled structure of the bud, which visually resembles a peony. The uniqueness of its color palette—a deep red tone with lilac hues—is achieved through a high concentration of anthocyanins, which also provides enhanced plant tissue resilience against adverse environmental factors.

Technical Specifications and Resistance

Unlike early-season varieties, 'West Frisia' features a reinforced, medium-height stem capable of supporting the weight of heavy, moisture-laden inflorescences without lodging. The root system and bulb of this cultivar demonstrate exceptional immunity to pathogens that are critically dangerous for bulbous crops:

• A biological barrier against late blight and black leg pathogens prevents rot during periods of excessive soil moisture.
• High resistance to common scab ensures the integrity of the protective scales, which is vital for long-term storage and transportation.
• Genetic protection against potato wart disease (in soil conditions) minimizes the risk of crop loss during crop rotation.

These characteristics make the variety a technological solution for industrial forcing and landscaping, where predictable development and the minimization of chemical treatments are essential.
