Dümmen Orange takes part in campaign ‘Summertime, Gerberatime’

Coloured by Gerbera started the campaign ‘Summertime, Gerberatime’ and Dümmen Orange joins in. The colourful flower turns its radiating ‘face’ always towards the sun, so it can catch all the rays, and reflect them back to everyone that sees it. No wonder that the Gerbera conquered the hearts of many and shines bright in the Top 5 of favourite flowers.

All the colours of the rainbow
In the past decades, more than three hundred Gerbera varieties saw the light of life and they are available in every colour of the rainbow. This sunny bringer of spring thanks her name to the Dutch botanist Gronovius who (re)discovered the flower at the end of the eighteenth century, and named it after his most appreciated colleague, Dr. Traugott Gerber, who described the plant earlier. Breeding began around 1890 in England whereby the natural beauty of the flower and the many colour variations were being emphasised. The popularity of the Gerbera soon became borderless and the flower is loved all over the world. Dümmen Orange can boast forty years of knowledge in the breeding of the Gerbera.

The five top sellers of Dümmen Orange are called Plot, Terra Saffier, Cookies n’ Cream, Voldemort and Sun spot, and the flower even commits itself to charity. During International Women’s Day, yearly on March 8th, the pink Gerbera stands for beauty and power.
