- Several varieties added to the perennial program
- Debuts at the California Spring Trials
GILROY, Calif., USA –
Syngenta Flowers has relaunched its perennial program with more than 20 new and improved varieties. The expanded portfolio includes a wide range of seed and vegetative perennials for all seasons, providing growers a one-stop shop for all their perennial needs.
“Perennials have become increasingly popular due to their incredible reliability in the garden,” said Kent Carrell, market manager, Syngenta Flowers. “We strive to continually breed strong, unique genetics that growers can rely on. With more than 50 varieties, our perennial program is more robust and more diverse than ever before to meet the needs of this growing market.”
The enhanced portfolio includes several varieties for the spring and summer blooming seasons, as well as some that will be ideal for fall. Many of the perennials offer first-year flowering and require no vernalization period. Highlights from the new program include:
- Clockwise™ Campanula – The first F1 hybrid Campanula portenschlagiana offers fast, uniform production and first year flowering.
- Prairie Splendor™ Rose Compact Echinacea – This new addition to the award-winning series has an upright habit, reducing the need for plant growth regulator applications.
- Snowsurfer™ Forte Iberis – A floriferous, drought tolerant perennial, this new variety’s bright white color shines against the dark green, well-branched leaves.
