Sunfinity Sunflower, Syngenta’s branded interspecific helianthus, won two Medal of Excellence awards, the Industry's Choice Award and the Readers' Choice Award at Cultivate '17.
The Industry’s Choice Award selection is based on a selection of varieties chosen by an industry panel during California Spring Trials. The selection for the Readers’ Choice Award is decided by Greenhouse Grower readers who vote on their favorite new introduction of the submitted options from Breeders at California Spring Trials.
Members of the Syngenta Flowers North America and Global team accepted the two awards for Sunfinity on July 17, 2017
A panel of experienced independent retailers also selected Sunfinity as one of the top new items at Cultivate '17 with the Retailer's Choice Award. Co-sponsored by AmericanHort and The Garden Center Group, The Retailer's Choice Award is given to a small, distinguished group of innovators each year at Cultivate in Columbus, Ohio. Sunfinity was selected for its strong retail appeal, utility, and excellent retail performance since most pot-type sunflowers flower once and die.
