Why Focus on New Varieties?
A flower bulb being heralded as a new variety does not always mean it is a better variety. There are many heirloom varieties, and varieties introduced in the last 35 years, that continue to be grown because they are still the best!
This year, we went a bit overboard adding new varieties and bringing back varieties that had gone out of cultivation previously. The reason that we did this was because we feared many ‘old’ varieties may be going out of cultivation. And they did. Old favorites can became weak over time, and susceptible to disease and pests. At a certain moment, the quality and health of a variety may degrade to the point that it is no longer possible to cultivate it commercially. Sadly, this year, we lost Tulip Angelique, Belle du Monde and Rosalie, among others.
We selected our line-up of new varieties by numerous criteria: form, coloration, bloom time, height, capacity to stand up to night frost, ability to withstand hail damage, and longevity of bloom in the garden or in a vase. The over-riding criteria was health, and how well the bulb itself grows and multiplies. We like to introduce varieties into our collection that we can offer for years to come.
