Verbena series Drums

Especially Drums Purple Red is a real highlight. All varieties have excelled in a high uniformity with the growers. They show a very compact appearance, can be produced completely without PGR and are very insensitive to powdery mildew.
Petunia Circus Sky
Clear the ring for the spectacular new Petunia Circus Sky. With its enchanting and appealing appearance and matching POS material, such as printed pots and labels, it takes everyone into the fascinating world of the circus. This novelty combines the starry sky pattern with the commercially most important Petunia colour. A delicate, dreamy appearance and yet expressive and with clear recognition value: the fine white flower edge emphasises the special, slightly wavy flower shape and frames the beautiful pink-purple of the flower. Cheeky white speckles give it that certain something. The fading of the violet into the deep dark centre of the flower makes the flowers real eye-catchers. Circus Sky is already a top seller for the coming season! The production method of this variety fits perfectly into the Famous assortment. It thus offers the best conditions for easy, uncut production for early flowering. Cool temperatures in the morning hours, as in cool-morning production, promote the attractive colour contrast. The variety is particularly effective in standard pots or hanging baskets.
SKYfamily Petunias
Each flower a little universe - Under the SKYfamily concept, the entire range of Petunias with star patterns is brought together. The story of the legendary Petunias started with NightSky. In the meantime, Selecta One has launched more impressive Petunia varieties with a unique flower pattern: the noble Royal Sky with a bright purple flower pattern. Other varieties are Lavender Sky and Lightning Sky. Glacier Sky with its long, overhanging growth at the consumer completes the AlpeTunia assortment. And a nice colour addition to the Bonnie family is the dark Mystery Sky with fine light spots. Whether untrimmed for early flowering in standard pot sizes, from T10.5 to T13 cm, single-coloured or in combined colours in container or hanging baskets, the SKY Petunias always cut a good figure and ensure maximum attention at the POS. Cool night temperatures can be used to promote the contrast and colour intensity of all SKY varieties, making the starry sky shine. In the form of printed pots, labels, promotional posters and banners, the varieties can be grouped together and presented uniformly at the POS.
