Syngenta Flowers APAC is more present in the Asian and Pacific markets than ever before. With local specialists in a growing number of countries and trial events in all key markets, Syngenta Flowers reaches out to all the flowers growers in the region. Together with our carefully selected distribution partners we bring our innovative seeds portfolio to the market. Syngenta’s global team of breeders focuses on the hot and humid environmental requirements of the southern APAC region and very market- specific product profiles, such as the consumer-driven market of Japan and the landscape needs in many parts of China. New Varieties—Seeds In our portfolio we present our new Dianthus Elation, which is bred with robust heat tolerance and tough landscape performance. The abundantly flowering plants recover quickly after a tropical shower. We are also happy to inform you that we have improved our spreading petunia from seed series with Fototfinsh Red Improved now better fitting in earliness. Its reduced day length sensitivity ensures programmable flowering in 9 to 10 weeks from sowing. Another new series without compromise is our famous Delta Pro pansy. Introduced in 2023, globally Delta Pro brings pansy programmability to new heights. Crop planning has never been so easy with this incredible level of uniformity throughout the series.
Wishing you a successful season ahead.
