Visitors were received in a winter wonderland for a guided tour through the greenhouses. In there, they discovered all about cold tolerant crops, got to know the new two-toned "Super Serie Fusion" and enjoyed all the beauty Schoneveld Breeding has in its assortment.
Cold crops
In these times of world-wide energy shortages it is a great advantage to grow crops that require little energy. The cold tolerant "Super Serie Mini Winter", "Picasso", "Macro" and "Vintro" amazed visitors of the Cyclamen Open Days. Schoneveld Breeding developed these crops that require a low energy input. Every single one of them grows out into a high-end quality product. These lines make sure growers’ production can go on during the colder season. Of course, the growing supporters of Schoneveld Breeding are happy to share the adjusted cultivation protocol with growers.
"Fusion"
Newcomer to the Cyclamen Open Days was "Super Serie Fusion". This large flowered Cyclamen was bred from the well know, strong "Super Serie" genetics. "Fusion" is a special highlight with its two-toned flowers. The series start with 'Fusion Large Neon Pink', a beautiful plant with flowers in distinct pink and white, separated by a hard line. The ideal flowering time is from the end of September onwards. Although "Super Serie Fusion" is not available commercially yet, samples are already available.
"Leopardo"
"Super Serie Leopardo" was, of course, also present during the Cyclamen Open Days. This heat tolerant, large flowered powerhouse is available in seven colours. "Leopardo" is easy to grow under warmer conditions. In the mean time, Schoneveld Breeding has learned that "Leopardo" is mostly stress tolerant, which means this series is also perfect for colder areas. "Leopardo" has a relatively short production time and is praised worldwide for its strong qualities.
