Also at Florensis, Herbert Huisman and Marijn Boer of Erfgoed, known for its floors and also presented their water technology here.

Frank Timmerman of Globee, a multifunctional sustainable recycled design flower pot made in the Netherlands.

At PanAmerican Seed this year, the display was set up like a museum. Eva Wijnker with Solarscape. Solarscape is the first from seed and they see many advantages of this such as shelf life, seed can stay on the shelf longer, so more sustainable. In addition, it has a good performance, can withstand the sun very well, for example.

In this picture, you can see that the roots are growing deep.

Petchoa Caliburst is and petunia and calibrachoa mixed. It has the vigour of the Wave and the colours of the calibrachoa, now also yellow on the market. In addition, it has a cold-durable production and daylength requirement is under 9 hours of day length.

Vinca Titan-ium. According to Panamerican seed, this series is early and earlier than the competition in terms of the flowering window. In addition, it is uniform and easy to grow.

Pansy Topwave is an introduction of this year. During the FlowerTrials in week 24 not the best time to get this pansy in bloom, but definitely a highlight to show. It has bigger blooms and also over the top. Good hanging basket type.

PanAmerican Seed location at Florensis.

Marjolein Kuyucu-Lodder of Florensis with Ageratum houstonianum Monarch, named after a butterfly type. It is a trailing agarat, something you don't often see. In addition, it is drought tolerant and butterfly friendly.

GO!Tunia was introduced two years ago, but has been rebranded. Retail picked it up well and Florensis now also has a wide range of colours. Colour fever is therefore the tagline.

Dart is a collaboration with Panamerican Seed. Florensis carries this series exclusively. In spring and summer, it is more compact than what is on the market. This also makes it more transportable for retail.

Close up of Bolero. "Is half-filled, fringed and has a cool colour"

Container field with perennials attracts many visitors every year.

Another part of the garden at Florensis

Frank Verhoogt and Marthe Oltheten next to the Sunca series, a series inspired by Croatia. A special feature of this series is the yellow lip. All varieties in the series are named after Croatian cities.

Close-up Sunca.

On to Danziger where they have already rolled out the red carpet.

The DuraBella display. Danziger has invested heavily in creating combinations and they also see the demand for combinations growing. The possibilities are endless. Each variety in this series is long-lasting. Danziger selects varieties that go well together and looks at which 'recipes' suit which countries and also tests them worldwide.

Danziger display.

Prime was introduced last year and is now popular. "It is delivering the promise"

Garden to vase programme. Constantly, the Danziger team is figuring out how to market this well. Now they have decided to market the plants very young, when they are still green and on the label a picture. This makes them fit better and more on the trolley and the grower can sell it sooner. Also, see this video to learn more about the Garden to vase programme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=shared&v=EAp9MoPQlRk

Besties is a new Osteospermum series. According to Danziger, the series consists of good colours, is uniform, and also does well in small pots. In the picture: Ohad Shafran and Atar Krispil

Also cut flowers were on display at Danziger.

Sol Luna Prime is more vigurous than the prime, flowers early (5 weeks from stick to retail ready). It is also uniform, and looks good in pot and gets bigger in landscape. 6 varieties in the range at the moment.

Colorful display

A lot of talks going on at Danziger

On to Sakata, where Queen and Van de Bos Flowerbulbs also presented their varieties.

On to Sakata, passing several stars

At Sakata

Where Queen also presented her highlights. In the photo: Hugo Schoenmaker with the Cut Kalanchoe, special about these flowers are the bright colours, diversity and vase life (3 weeks)

Euphorbioa has been in the market for about 3 years now and this year, according to Schoenmaker, it will really take off. There are also 2 new varieties this year. Characteristic are the large flowers, now dark pink and white cream in addition to the light pink. This is the Tiara series.

Hebe Kiwi is a fairly new series introduced 3 years ago. What is special about this series is that the plants are richly flowering and available in many different colours, have a long shelf life and a long flower life.

Display by Queen

The team at Sakata with Sun Patiens, which consists of 3 series, the patio, compact and vigorous. Patio is the new series. It is compact, making it perfect for retail. According to Sakata, Sun Patiens is a good series that flowers from May to October.

Calipetite has compact growth and does not need PGRs. According to Sakata, the only compact without the use of growth regulators. This means a cleaner crop, which is quite a topic nowadays. In addition, the plants are uniform, allowing the grower to make good trios and they keep flowering. "A flowering pancake"

Close-up

Enjoying lunch

Viking is a begonia series from Sakata containing 3 series. It is an interspecific cross. This gives you a strong product for landscape and they don't produce seeds. The ones that stand out are the ones with the chocolate leaves and Explorer, a more trailing type. Explorer also flowers well on the north side, so good for balcony boxes too.

See the chocolate-coloured leaves?

Garden of varieties from seed.

Roselily Jada from Van de Bos Flowerbulbs is genetically short and pollen-free.

Royal Forst is a pure white and produces a lot of flowers. It is also genetically short and the team at Van de Bos Flowerbulbs sees a good future in this.

Adri Duyvestijn with Napoli and in the background Sorrento, a new yellow. Napoli is genetically short with fragrance and colour as its USPs. In addition, it is a uniform variety that is easy to grow. It also propagates well, so bulbs are good to make.

On to Syngenta Flowers

Neil Fishlock with Erysistible Fire, a new colour in this compact series. 1 plant fills a 3-litre pot and bees love it.

Sweet Duet is a series with two new colours, Bright Yellow and Deep Red. They have fragrant double flowers.

It-Girl from Selecta one is a perennial Dianthus from the Whetman Alpine range. With its bright pink, wavy flowers and compact, grey-green foliage, it immediately catches the eye. It has a lovely fragrance, is insect-friendly, drought-tolerant and fully hardy. Moreover, it flowers several times a season. Like all Whetman varieties, it is ideal for peat-free production, can be cultivated cold and is frost-hardy as a true hardy perennial.

Close-up It-Girl

Last year Selecta one acquired Whetman, so this year they were showing a true English Coltage Garden. What you see here are therefore dianthus with longer flower stems. This also shows that they have an even more complete dianthus range.

In addition, the plant is more compact so the flowers stand out better. According to Jaldety, they do well in a mix of 2 and there are currently 3 varieties in the group.

Gazania Jupiter is the first silver in the group. Now Jaldety focuses on silver leaves. In addition, the plant must be compact.

Haim Rosenblum of Hishtil presented the Double Marvel concept again this year and this year big in the garden, together with the Growflow concept. With this, they want to show that herbs are not just for culinary pruposes, but are also something for the eye. This increases options for consumers.

At Hishtil, they are also still promoting the 'grafted vegetables'. During Covid, many people were at home and demand increased. And the grafted plants need less water and therefore less abiotic stress, they are resistant to that. And the varieties in the Durabello series are also resistant to this.

New is the Thymus Compact Pompon (right), also Double Marvel and organic and High Maintain Mint (Durabello) (left)

Very new is Ovalvet, has high powdery mildew resistance. And its shape and structure is different from other salvia on the market.

At Hishtil, herbs and sustainability are key. The goal is to become 100% organic.
