Tulip Wildhof

Stability and Color Clarity

The "Wildhof" tulip belongs to the Triumph class, known for its perfect goblet geometry and dense petals. Unlike many early varieties that tend to lose shape as the bud matures, this hybrid maintains its structural integrity throughout the entire flowering cycle. Its primary advantage is the exceptional purity of its white color. With a medium-height stem that resists lodging, it is a top choice for both commercial forcing and landscape design.

Plant Health and Resilience

A major challenge for flower growers is fungal disease during the active growth phase. Wildhof stands out from its competitors due to its enhanced resistance to a complex of diseases that often plague white varieties:

• Sclerotinia: the variety shows high resistance to basal rot.
• Downy Mildew and Phomopsis: due to its genetic robustness, the crop requires less intensive fungicide treatment.
• Phomosis: the dense tissue structure hinders pathogen development.

These traits make Wildhof an optimal choice for growers in high-humidity regions where infection risk is elevated. However, as with all Triumph tulips, strict adherence to temperature protocols during forcing is essential to achieve consistent stem height.

Is this variety right for you?

Wildhof is a reliable investment for cut-flower producers. Its pure white color is highly sought after in wedding floristry, and its disease resistance helps lower overhead costs related to plant protection products. For home gardeners, it is an incredibly resilient option that blooms consistently in mid-season, bridging the gap between early and late-blooming bulbs.
