Rozanne and Friends enter perennial plants market
Now breeders, propagators, growers and distributor sales reps will have a one-stop-shop of information on commercial production and garden use of key perennials for North American and European gardeners.
Rozanne and Friends
Must Have Perennials already has the Perennial Phenom, Geranium ‘Rozanne’, PPA’s 2008 Perennial Plant of the Year, recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit and most recently voted by the public as “The Plant of the Centenary” at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Her friends will be a group of star performers and supporting cast.
Rozanne and Friends – a new industry Consumer brand – is focused on promoting the Must Have Perennials variety list to the Consumer through its own website, (www.rozanneandfriends.com). Rozanne and Friends is replacing the Blooms of Bressingham brand of perennials.
Rozanne’s “Friends” will be a constantly developing range of new perennial plants, each with outstanding garden performance, versatility and functionality to meet the needs of the consumer, together with offering exceptional value for money.
In-store Point of Sale material is being developed over the next six months to assist Retailers in maximizing sales potential, linking with the Rozanne and Friends national marketing campaigns.
A Rozanne and Friends Garden Design Program is also being developed over the next year. To the Consumer, this will highlight plant combinations and much needed information on how and where to use all perennials. It will also be at the center of marketing communications to both the Trade and Consumer.
Must Have Perennials
Must Have Perennials – a new industry Trade brand – is being designed to provide an integrated marketing vehicle to support Breeders, Young Plant Producers, Finished Plant Producers and Retailers in bringing new, innovative perennials to market.
This will include the continued marketing of top-selling perennials (previously marketed under the Blooms of Bressingham brand). This includes Geranium Rozanne, the world’s top-selling perennial. The existing licensee network is not changing.
Must Have Perennials has its own website (www.musthaveperennials.com), which is being further developed to provide thorough information on each variety, including growing data, seasonal marketing ideas and advance news of new introductions. The site will also include access to new marketing materials created for Trade use in sales promotions.
Additionally, Must Have Perennials will identify current key perennial varieties for different production regions and by season of interest.
A coordinated effort with Rozanne and Friends will present regional-seasonal garden designs of these current key varieties and their new Rozanne friends.
