During the Royal Flora Holland Trade Fair (RFHTF) in Aalsmeer (NL), Syngenta Flowers introduced two new varieties within the Helleborus series ‘Christmas Carol’. This shows the company’s continued development with 15 years of experience in the Helleborus seed range.
The Helleborus series ‘Christmas Carol’ is characterised by its bright white flowers on strong dark green leaves. The series is variable in flowering time, allowing an even production spread. The name Christmas Carol is due to the fact that 90% of the plants can be sold in October and November thanks to their early flowering.
The two newcomers within this series speak for themselves. ‘Christmas Carol Early’ which flowers on average two weeks earlier than the classic ‘Christmas Carol’ and ‘Christmas Carol Compact’ is extremely suitable for smaller pot sizes (6 to 9 cm). A unique and significant benefit is that both new varieties require less PGR.
