VEGGIES: REDEFINED Vegetalis leads the way by taking the guesswork out of making selections for your customer base. Whether you are a bedding plant grower wanting easy-to-grow options for urban gardeners, a catalog company needing exciting and interesting new varieties for experienced and foodie influenced gardeners, or a farmer’s market grower needing cutting edge high quality genetics for profitable produce production, Vegetalis has you covered. This is an explosive growth period for home and garden vegetables with an estimated 16 million new gardeners planting and sowing for the very first time. With this strong resurgence in growing-your-own food or sourcing fresh local produce, Vegetalis can provide the easy-to-grow, tasty and high-yielding varieties that will have both professional growers and home gardeners excited from their experience and coming back for more. What’s New? Vegetalis is now the over-arching brand for our entire assortment of vegetables curated from both Syngenta Vegetables and Floranova specifically for the home and garden markets. To differentiate the applications for these varieties, throughout our catalog you will notice we have segmented our assortment into two categories for the home garden – Traditional Garden and Small Space vegetables. Traditional Garden: This segment includes the most popular crops that everyone knows and wants. Best suited for in-ground planting or direct sowing, these varieties tend to have larger, more traditional garden footprints. With our traditional garden assortment, Vegetalis brings the same varieties found at the farmer’s market to the home garden and beyond. Small Space: Breeding innovations have created vegetables with plant habits that are more proportional in size to today’s garden situation while still producing substantial harvests whether planted in-ground or containers. Position these varieties as the solution for those with limited space options. Varieties with compact, determinate habits and an abundance of easy-to-pick fruit will be attractive to both beginner and experienced gardeners. Check out the new At-A-Glance page at the back of this catalog for our complete product specs including container recommendations.

21 New varieties that pack a punch! High-yielding, flavorful and easy to grow.

Come grow with us! For me personally, the world of vegetables is all about happiness and joy. It should be fun. Together we can help grow your business, grow your profits, but most importantly, we can all grow happy helping you develop your vegetable programs!

Thank you for your business and we look forward to serving you!
