This Summer all eyes will be focussed on Brazil for one of the great sporting spectacles, the soccer World Cup.
Bossa Nova will be the sound tracks of Summer as World Cup fever takes hold. This year is also significant for Floranova, a year very analogous to a World Cup year. The year and all its possibilities have been eagerly anticipated by all our team. The World Cup comes around every four years, we have had to wait

19 previous editions of the tournament, Brazil is counting down the days until the participating nations and their fans arrive on its shores. FIFA.com The official site for the event.
The investment and focus on research has created a bulging product pipeline, 2014 sees that pipeline begin to come to fruition. Although 2013 was a great year with the introduction of exciting products such as the French Marigold Cresta and Alumia series, 2014 is set to be the year to get the carnival started! Befitting a Summer focussed on Brazil, we are proud to introduce some sizzling sun lovers, such as Honeymoon Hibiscus, Portulaca Lazy Daze and Portulaca Sun Daze. The crop that really excites me is our new interspecific Begonia. An idea that formed when I visited a brilliant specialist vegetative Begonia breeder: the journey to a seed raised product has been difficult and has required perseverance and great skill from our breeding and production teams. We have finally got there and can now introduce this innovative product to the World’s horticultural industry. This is our stage, our theatre of dreams, we can think of no better name for this new series than Begonia Bossa Nova. I look forward to Bossa Nova bringing the carnival spirit to horticulture.

Begonia boliviensis
The next step in seed raised garden Begonias. Begonia Bossa Nova brings the Carnival to your containers. Full of flower and available in a range of 4 bright colours, Bossa Nova is sure to add a new dimension to your bedding displays. Brilliant blooms cover the plant from late Spring until frost and the well branched plants look stunning in a large container or hanging basket, either singly or as part of a combo. Available as pelleted seed, Bossa Nova is the economical alternative to cutting raised Begonia. The large flowers and nonstop flowering makes Bossa Nova a great choice for any climate but will particularly thrive in warm situations, even where other Begonia have failed.

Sweetly scented and ultra-fast in production, that’s ‘Sugar Rush’! Not requiring cool temperatures for flowering, this F1 hybrid Cheiranthus can be sold even in late Summer or early Autumn from as little as just 9 weeks from sowing. Even during warm temperatures it still produces dark green healthy foliage and great natural branching. Once planted out it will withstand heavy frost and wintery conditions, making a nice bushy plant that will then re-flower in early Spring. Alternatively, it can be sold as a flowering plant in early Spring in as little as 14-16 weeks from sowing. The perfect addition for Autumn and Winter gardening. A versatile companion to Pansies! (Sugar Rush is not available in all regions. Please refer to your pricelist for more information.)
