Dear Customers
The rainy and cold spring in Europe this year was a source
of anxiety for many growers, especially for those planting
outdoor beds in urban settings and in parks. The hot summer
weather which followed, accompanied by sudden storms and torrential
rains, also thoroughly tested the quality and resistance of
flowers produced by Černý Seed s.r.o. in climatic conditions
which in recent years have brought with them a number of unpredictable
changes.
Climate change is also a major challenge for breeders. Their
work focuses, among other things, on creating flowers which
will prove resistant to extreme conditions. This is one of
the reasons why we continue to develop our work in breeding
of Vinca and the popular
Volcano F1 group has been extended
to include the two new colours
Blush F1 and
Scarlet
Eye F1,
which, just like the other varieties in this group, are extremely
hardy.
However, the star of the show is our new premium group
pollen-free
Pelargonium Falcon F1, which we are introducing in the key
colours
Orange F1, Scarlet F1, Salmon F1, Violet F1 and
White
F1. These varieties are not only pollen-free, but also have
a self-cleaning effect which reduces plant maintenance to the
absolute minimum and ensures endless flowering throughout the
season.
Other welcome additions to our range for example include the
Begonia interspecific Sensation F1 Red with Green Leaves and
the double and semi-double flowering
Begonia semperflorens
FlowerBall F1 Rose which extend the popular groups you know
so well to include key colours, increasing not only their attractiveness
but also options for combining them in beds and pots.
A unique new product, unparalleled anywhere else in the world,
is our early
Petunia multiflora Eyelash F1 group with veining
extending to halfway of the flower and forming a circular pattern.
Three colours will be available for the time being (Orchid,
Salmon, Light Purple and a mixture of these). More are certain
to follow in the near future.
Last but not least, the
Dot Star F1 petunia - one of the most
commercially successful groups and most popular among consumers
– is enhanced by the addition of the
Dark Violet Improved variety
which offers significantly more compact growth and more stable
dots and spots even on hot days. Treat your customers to this
great product too.
The sales achieved during the past season and the continuously
expanding territories we serve continue to convince us that
we are on the right track and that the seed market is not nearly
as saturated nor as conservative as it might seem at first
glance.
The driving force behind our work and innovation is you, our
satisfied customers. Thank you for your cooperation and support,
and for the opportunity to make the world a more beautiful
and friendlier place together with you.
We look forward to working with you in the new sales season!
Best regards
