Delta® celebrates its 25th birthday. But how did the Delta Pansies become such a great success over the years? "Our breeders observed the market in order to sense or create trends with innovations, at a time when they are still far away in the future. In the last 6 years alone, over 40% of the Delta range has been renewed or improved", explains Robbie Gieslink, who leads the breeders team of Delta now for more than 10 years.
“For over 25 years a team of breeders, growers, pollinators and scientists in Syngenta work every day to create the best pansies for all our customers: growers, retailers and consumers. We want you to have pansies that are easy and reliable to produce, sell through and enjoyed in every garden. I am proud to lead the breeding process of Delta Pansies for over a decade now and I’m grateful to see our pansies being produced and enjoyed all over the world. But there is no time to sit back and relax: the climate change, the need for more sustainable production, evolving consumer trends are changing the requirements for success of tomorrow’s pansy. I and my team are looking forward to continuing to provide you with the best pansies today and for the coming 25 years.”
