VARIETY INFORMATION
SYNGENTA FLOWERS
Breeding by Syngenta, distribution
by Express Seed
11. 'Ruby' | 'Ruby' caught my
eye as a new introduction and in a
color class of its own this year. It's not
as plum-colored as merlot types, but
definitely a more decadent ruby red.
I see this as an excellent opportunity
to pair with some of the other pure
whites found in this past year's trial to
create a high-end look at retail.
11
12. 'Toro' | For retailers looking
to go big, 'Toro' is a perfect pick
with exceptional vigor and durable
shipability. This variety sports a
traditional Christmas red color with
oversized bracts. And 'Toro' has
excellent heat tolerance, making it a
standout for southern growers.
BALL SEED CO.
13. Fantasy Colors | Andrew
Lee, who heads up the line of
Fantasy Colors dyes and glitters for
Ball Seed, has a great time teasing
me about this product line. He's
been determined over the years to
get me to put these in my house, and
while he's yet to succeed in adding
them to my personal décor, I cannot
ignore the vast value of this product
in the industry. His lineup of accents
adds considerable sales and margin
to growers across North America
and, I assume, opens additional
consumers who wouldn't otherwise
purchase a traditional poinsettia
during the season.
While this program has been around
and growing for 19 years, the last five
have seen the most significant growth.
Growers have learned how to automate
the process, supermarkets have
adopted the product in a big way and
retailers have realized a price increase
of $2 to $5 per plant, when done with
quality. Heimos saw a 34% increase in
their painted program in just one year,
which now makes up 10% of their
entire poinsettia program.
