Your seed opportunity 2018

In the volatile business world that we live in, the right decision at the right time is essential. But luckily you can rely on PanAmerican Seed to help you make the right decision. PanAmerican Seed has more breeding experience and more varieties to choose from than any other breeding company. Add to this our efficient and proactive customer service team, and you have the winning combination! This new 2018 edition of Colour Essentials is packed full of potential plus a few surprises here and there, but most of all this brochure is full of opportunities for you to develop your business with our genetics. So let’s work together to take your business to the next level! In this Colour Essentials, I’d particularly like to draw your attention to the following new products that are worth highlighting. • Our new Alternanthera Purple Prince. The first compact seed alternanthera is an easy-to-grow alternative to cutting raised versions. • Pentas Lucky Star series. Bred for the fastest secondary flower of any Pentas on the market. This Pentas has better branching plus the flowers open up above the foliage. • Osteospermum Akila Grand Canyon Mixture: the first multicolour segregating mixture which includes popular colours like yellow, rose-reds, purple, lavender, cream and white. • In addition we have many new varieties in our popular HandPicked Vegetables & Herbs Collection. Last but not least, we are re-introducing French Marigold Bonanza Bolero Improved. Bonanza and Durango are the leading Marigold series; better than any other in terms of uniformity, timing and the size of the flowers. How to take the next step: 1. For further information please review our products via this catalogue and www.panamseed.com 2. Contact me with any questions on our varieties and how we can help you to develop your business. Yours Sincerely, Anton de Wit Account Manager PanAmerican Seed awit@panamseed.com
