Biennials & Spring Perennials 2020 / 2021
2
Our Biennial and Spring Perennial assortment has a proven track record which we continue to strengthen and prepare it further for the future
Speaking about the future brings us as well to our new Pol- linator concept. In recent years, pollinators have been thre- atened by a combination of factors, among which habitat loss and urbanization have played an important part. It’s time to take action! One way to help increase the pollinator richness in urban areas is planting pollinator attracting species and varieties in gardens and public spaces. Our assortment has been carefully tested by an independent trialing station on their attractiveness to pollinating insects. The Syngenta Flowers pollinator friendly varieties are marked with a bee icon to easily identify them. Another outstanding introduction in our assortment are the Deltini Trio mixes. We have already tested a lot of different combinations in the past few years and we are happy to
introduce them now within one plug. We have with Delti- ni such a good genetic that we can guarantee 100% Trio young plants. The uniformity in growth and flowering time is first in class. Next to our novelties in Biennials we have also interesting new varieties in the Spring Perennial range. We want to hig- hlight our new Goldiphlox which should get your attention. Two till three weeks earlier then traditional varieties it is very early and rich flowering. We hope you will be inspired by both our Biennials and Spring Perennials program and know that we are here to support you in a successful growing season!

Pollinator friendly assortment
This wide range of pollinator-friendly products helps address the decline of pollinating insects like bees, butterflies and humble bees and hoverflies which are crucial for the success of many natural habitats and the production of food crops.
Let’s help biodiversity flourish!
In recent years, pollinators have been threatened by a combination of factors, among which habitat loss and urbanization have played an important part. It’s time to take action! One way to help increase the pollinator richness in urban areas is planting pollinator attracting species and varieties in gardens and public spaces. Our assortment has been carefully tested by an independent trialing station on their attractiveness to pollinating insects. The Syngenta Flowers pollinator friendly varieties are marked with a bee icon to easily identify them.

“Endurio is without doubt the best series for hanging baskets and due to its early flowering, it gives us a longer sales period. Uniformity in plant habit and flowering make it possible to sell all colours at the same time, either as single colours or in mixed baskets.”
Werner van der Meer, Gartenbau Van der Meer (DE)
Viola cornuta F1
Endurio ® garden performance test
GARDEN PERFORMANCE TEST AT SYNGENTA TRI AL F I ELD, DE L I ER (NL ) The Endurio series is known for its great garden performance in winter. Snow and frost do not prevent the series from flowering, as long as it gets a little sun. Endurio is more than just a winter performer, it also produces masses of flowers in spring. The garden performance test, carried out over a period of 9 weeks at our trial field in the Netherlands, demonstrated that the single Endurio colours all develop a lovely, mounding habit with a large number of flowers. Endurio for an all-season-round performance!

Deltini ® shelf life and garden performance tests
SHELF L I FE TEST AT FLOWERWATCH, ROELOFARENDSVEEN(NL ) Within the small-flowered Viola market segment, the real game-changer when it comes to shelf life, is the Deltini series. Besides the fact that the series meets all grower requirements, it also outperforms every other series on the shop floor. We tested our Deltini series in cooperation with FlowerWatch, by comparing it to other series available on the market. The shelf life test included a 2-day transport simulation and a 12-day shelf life test in a retail environment. All plants came
from the same source and were treated the same. FlowerWatch used cameras and physical inspection to monitor the plants. In the report, FlowerWatch certifies all tested Deltini colours as ‘clearly better’. Deltini for the greatest efficiency in the small-flowered Viola market segment!
Deltini White Imp
Deltini Yellow
GARDEN PERFORMANCE TEST AT SYNGENTA TRI AL F I ELD, DE L I ER(NL ) It may be that plants that remain compact at grower and retail level, make concessions in terms of garden performance. However, with Deltini, nothing could be further from the truth. The Deltini series gives consumer exactly what they want: flowers, flowers and even more flowers.
Over a period of 9 weeks, Deltini colours were tested for garden performance against other varieties available on the market. The results are very clear: Deltini is also the most reliable series on the market when it comes to garden performance. Deltini for a guaranteed positive consumer experience!

Rocky ® shelf life and garden performance tests
SHELF L I FE TEST AT FLOWERWATCH, ROELOFARENDSVEEN(NL ) The Rocky series includes great colours supplied by our main Viola breeders, which befits the series performance. When a new colour is added to the Rocky series, not only is it tested on growth performance, but also on shelf life performance.
12-day shelf life test in a retail environment. All plants came from the same source and were treated the same. FlowerWatch used cameras and physical inspection to monitor the plants. The FlowerWatch report shows that Rocky is an all-round performer when it comes to shelf life. Rocky for a comprehensive colour-range with a reliable shelf life!
In cooperation with FlowerWatch, we tested our Rocky series by comparing it to other series available on the market. The shelf life test included a 2-day transport simulation and a

Delta ® shelf life and garden performance tests
SHELF L I FE TEST AT FLOWERWATCH, ROELOFARENDSVEEN(NL ) This large flowered Pansy series has earned its strong market position because it fulfils grower and retailer needs best. The uniformity and plant habit are unmatched! If you are looking for a series with a short production cycle and the best shelf life on the market, it is the perfect solution. In cooperation with FlowerWatch, we tested our Delta series and compared it to other series available on the market. The shelf life test included a 2-day transport simulation and
a 12-day shelf life test in a retail environment. All plants came from the same source and were treated the same. FlowerWatch used cameras and physical inspection to monitor the plants. In the report, FlowerWatch confirms that 12 of the 16 tested Delta colours are ‘clearly better’ and the remaining four are ‘slightly better or equal to’ the other tested varieties. Delta for a longer sales period, less wastage and thus greater efficiency!

GARDEN PERFORMANCE TEST AT SYNGENTA TRI AL F I ELD, DE L I ER(NL ) Besides an efficient production and a profitable resale, Delta! is bred to give consumers a great experience. Pansies bring a lot of colour into the consumer’s garden at a time of the year when the availability of flowering products is limited. At Syngenta, we feel the responsibilty to make sure that both the experienced gardener and the impulse buyer are successful with their purchase of right plants.
That is why we also carried out extensive trials on Delta for garden performance at our trial field in the Netherlands. Over a period of 9 weeks Delta was tested against other varieties available on the market. This test clearly showed that, due to its genetic performance, Delta has the highest potential success rate in the consumer gardens. Delta for more flowers, good configuration and an extensive enjoyment period!
