Syngenta Flowers focus on innovative breeding

Legend

We have made significant progress in the last year to support you – our customers. Our aim is to provide you with exciting new innovations with the ambition to improve the end consumer experience. We want to support you, with our sales and customer service teams, helping you select the right varieties for your business and our production delivering the highest quality products – giving your products the best start. Our team of technical specialists are also there along the way with their knowledge and experience to ensure you optimize what you do and deliver for your customers. We want you to be successful in all that you do. In this brand-new catalogue for 2021, we are introducing lots of improvements to our core genetics with more than 200 novelties. We believe innovation is needed everywhere in our business and we are proud to offer you flower varieties of even better quality, new flower and plant shapes and colours that will amaze and delight the end consumer. New this year are Petunia Itsy and Petunia Shortcake, two varieties with proven success in North America. Dahlia Sincerity is a stunning must have out of the Verwer Dahlia program, with its amazing flowers. In addition, we have the heat loving Lantana Hot Blooded (we all know the Foreigner song). Our interspecific Pelargonium series Calliope goes from strength to strength as does Petunia Dekko. In perennials, we have the exciting new introduction of the Lavender Vintro series but don’t miss Lavendula stoechas Violetta. Last but not least in seeds we are seeing some great results coming out of the Begonia Tuberhybrida Limitless series with its striking colors and we have further colours in our industry leading mildew resistant Impatiens walleriana Imara. We are constantly improving our existing genetics to ensure we are the best in the market. In our breeding our priority is to bring novel products that help growers produce more attractive and higher quality products,

efficiently. We also focus on delivering greater resistance and resilience as shown by Vinca Cora XDR series and – again – the Impatiens walleriana Imara. All of this together adds value and makes our genetics stand out. We are progressing in making Syngenta Flowers a synonym for innovation - however there is more. Syngenta is also committed to sustainability, not only by breeding more sustainable varieties, but also for more sustainable production and supply. Our production is certified for Global G.A.P., Grasp and increasingly also for Fair Trade.
