Variety description

10 August 2026

The Oracle F1 hybrid matures in about 125 days and forms upright glossy leaves 10–20 cm tall. The bulbs are of the Spanish type and are characterized by high firmness and a prevalence of single-centered specimens.

The variety shows high resistance to pink root rot, Fusarium rot, and bolting. Due to the plant's robust structure, the variety is suitable for mechanical harvesting and stores well.

The main regions of adaptation for the hybrid are the northern United States, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest.
